The cynic in me believes managers actually don't want good metrics because then they have evidence of their bad leadership.

It’s why they love claiming “culture fit” on anyone older than them. 28 year old managers feeling threatened by 30 year old employees.

Anecdotally, I have not found much correlation between age and management style. I have had bad managers of all ages!

I have had one good manager though, and it's pretty obvious what made them great. First is they listen to what problems you have and actually help you do your best work. Secondly, they protect you from the other bad leaders at the company. Thirdly, they work too hard.
