If managers are so good at managing things, how come they can't manage to manage themselves? (sopuli.xyz)

Middle manager in an IT company here. My job description is saying "no" to requests outside the official pipeline, in order to shield my team from outside interference and burnout. I need a manager to fight for me whenever I pick a fight with one of the VPs who think we need to drop everything and refocus on their pet project.
