@knowprose Yes! I also find it really interesting who is considered a "safe pair of hands." Which largely maps to who will uphold the social order of the upper levels.
It seems obvious to everyone in orgs now that any tension between what's good for the company and what execs find appealing will always be resolved in favor of what execs find appealing. Which I find an incredibly damning indictment of modern management culture.

@elizayer yes, I tend to view it mainly as incentives misalignment. Each layer of management has it's own incentives. A speculation on my part is that a lack of actual common vision is lost to a common vision of pleasing shareholders from moment to moment. Combined with job security concerns at an individual level, entropy takes over. I haven't really fleshed that out yet. That seems more in your wheelhouse... I am mainly anecdotal. Does it resonate?
