> Why aren't companies adequently training and selecting managers
We've never trained managers. My father used to complain about this. He was an army officer before he went into industry; army officers are trained to manage.
I guess the difference with industry is that a trained manager can switch jobs; a trained army officer has a choice of exactly one employer. So training an officer is a long-term investment for the army, but training a manager just gives him an incentive to jump ship.
