Are you on a team with strong personalities that actually lead? If so, then that manager is probably a bug in their ear about what the business wants. I love and hate managing those types of team because it is literally like herding cats. When they are going in the right direction, it is a blast. When they disagree with you, it can be painful. Especially if you have no real teeth to provide negative feedback.

Leading a team when everyone is just "there for a paycheck" is much easier, but not as much fun. You basically just need to make sure all the tickets are lined up and everyone is working on the right things.
