People leave the environment, not just the manager, though the manager is a big piece of the puzzle.

I quit my last employer because the manager was an abusive bully with severe trust issues who would constantly threaten, abuse and demoralize people, but HR was also to blame since they did not lift a finger to address the issue even though this manager's behavior was widely known throughout the company for decades.

I've also left a great manager in the past since the business was going nowhere. I've left a good manager and good team because I was very underpaid in another company.
