I'm not a manager, but a highly skilled professional who works in IT as a business analyst. I've been really bothered in my last few corporate jobs because my managers have had really abysmal organizational skills. I'm looking here for a sanity check or an attitude adjustment (for myself). I feel that someone who manages a team really needs excellent organizational skills. While I understand that things get crazy busy and sometimes out of hand, for the most part I think you need to have your stuff together in order to not make things worse, or drive the people around you nuts.

Some examples from past managers:

• Scheduling meetings with no information and no agenda
• Scheduling meetings that they then no-show without telling anybody or cancelling
• pulling the team into a meeting to brainstorm something which ends up with everyone watching you try to, slowly and painfully and with many mistakes, learn the tool you're using to document the results (MS Project, Excel, Visio)
• Not able to remember how to do the most basic tasks in Outlook or Sharepoint (tools used on a daily basis)
• Documenting a list of tasks (in a meeting), and then instead of updating that list, drafting a new one (in another meeting), and then another new one (yes another meeting), etc.
• Requiring a status report but then never looking at them and just asking your team verbally for status on their tasks

Am I right to think that a good manager should be better than this? Or am I too much of a perfectionist? If I'm right, how in the world are these people promoted to management but someone super organized like me isn't?
