Where I work they unfortunately do not think that a manager or your immediate supervisor needs to know How To do your job. Their directors exact words was "I don't think it's necessary for them to know how to do your job, they are only there to remove obstacles from your path in completing your job"... My reply was "and how would they know what the obstacles are, even if I tell them, and how would they perceive the same sense of urgency if they have never done my job? "... I never got a reply.... IDIOTS!!
