> if you think you're going to make the decisions just because "you're the manager", then I think you're managing backwards.

You're making it sound black and white when is not. You do make some decisions. Judgement is required around what decisions can be made by you (+ provide reasoning) and which ones require building consensus or just be delegated.

> I think the thing that makes someone a good manager, is that they can make anyone effective. Everyone can grow and flourish under you.

If that were true good managers never would PIP or let go anyone, and that's just not true. The opposite is true. If you think everyone can flourish and never let go poor performers you're the one doing a disservice to your team.
