Lazy bosses

How many people out there feel like they can do a better job than their manager or boss? Most managers are suppose to sit back and figure out how to increase sales, how to get their employees better at what they do, make sure they are hitting numbers etc. My boss I feel doesn't do any of that except punch in numbers at the end of the week and calls it good. Half of us need to be retrained, talked to or fired. We don't know whats going on half the time. No one has motivation to be good employees...nothing. A lot of us just show up and go with the flow. I am a shift manager and am one of the few there that wants to make a difference but can't due to how the other employees are so accustomed to our general manager and the way she runs things. She's prohibiting some of us from getting raises because our numbers on sales and inventory and all that good stuff is off. We dont hit our marks. Bosses over her locked us out of raises because we aren't improving. She doesn't enforce anything and when myself or one of my other coworkers who is a shift manager too tries implementing a new plan or strategy she says ya but doesn't enforce or follow through. For example, I'm the person that wants the store really clean. In order to do that you have to implement a cleaning list. I've made the list, had people on my shift do the things from that cleaning list but no one else will do it on their shifts. Pretty frustrating when she tells me that I'm in charge of the cleaning list. She should be the one telling other people on her shifts to clean something. There is so much more. Has anyone else dealt with this? Dont get me wrong, I love my job and want to make the store better but my manager really needs to step it up.
