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!
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.

Yeah. Two years is just about long enough for a company to figure out that a manager is useless.
