What probably scares me most is, that managers think OO is in general a wonderful best practice you need to have in the company...

What scares me more are managers who think dogmatic adherence to "best practices" is the only way to be successful.
I'm more scared of those mandating dogmatic adherence on a best practice they don't understand. cough <agile> cough
This is a very general problem. As a organizational unit, you need to follow a path, but if it is difficult to determine the source of your problems in the first place, many things will sound like solutions.
Managers who think, there is a silver bullet, always scare me!

    So close to haiku,
    only one more syllable,
    great embarrassment.
Your use of commas has changed the meaning of your sentence. They look like parenthetical commas [0] to me, so the sentence reads as "Managers who think (there is a silver bullet) always scare me!".
