Couldn't agree more, I had a great manager for many years and the way we worked together is that we were working together but were handling different parts of the problem.
We would met before he went to an important meeting or before he took an official position on something, he'd tell me what he thought about it etc. We discuss what we could do, if there was something I needed or something I didn't want to happen. Sometimes I couldn't get what he needed, sometimes it was the other way around but it was very functional.
