A good manager on the right project can make a huge contribution to that project's success. Ditto a good senior leader running a large organisation. I have no problem with these people being compensated accordingly.
However, many people in management positions aren't particularly good at it, yet still command compensation as if they were.
In far too many cases, a manager is even making their organisation less effective overall than if they just left and let the people doing the work figure something out between them, yet still commanding that high compensation.
