In my experience this is fine, it's the ones who never stay in a role for more than two years you've got to watch out for. They seem to use each position as a temporary stepping stone on their career climb and rarely care about the team or the product!
Yeah. Two years is just about long enough for a company to figure out that a manager is useless.
External hire managers are the worst, they come in and have no idea how the company/product/department works (not their fault) so they tend to rely on sales-guru style tactics and rhetoric that just end up costing a bunch of time sucking each other off instead of, ya know, getting the job done.
