Boeing has entered the chat...
Politics aside, it seems like there's a wide spread mentality that tells these leaders that all they have to do is snap their fingers and the workers can magically make their desires appear.
Because there are tons of people who will do their damnedest to promise they can make it happen for the right price. In the context of the post's topic, I'd be surprised if even a third of Trump's staff actually like him or believe in whatever their cause is. It's filled with soulless opportunists. The subject of this article speaks for itself, bunch of incompetent opportunists climbed positions in their cult and fired tons of key personnel that negatively impacted their operations. Same thing happens in the corporate world. Despite their promises or facade, they fail to deliver more often than not.
There's a ton of people who will say that they can do it for the right price.
The Naked Emperor can pay a hundred brown nosers to tell him how good he looks; he's still naked. I'm sure that the Boeing engineers who built the terrible planes knew that it wasn't the best design; but they okayed the plans because that's what the bosses wanted.
Having worked in corporate for more than a decade now, I'm pretty sure anyone who said that the planes were shitty design throughout the design and review process were asked to explain themselves ad nauseam while everyone who was admiring the emperor's new clothes was free to leave the offices early for cocktail hour.
That's the way these things actually work: group think. Someone coming in saying "none of this appears to make sense" has to be a one-in-a-billion level genius because they are lining up for the firing squad. (And what genius would do that?) When the group has already written up the proposal and the customer has already signed off on it, it will not be changed no matter how insane or impossible it is.
And then QA is also a laugh as a gate. Eventually through a variety of tactics, every single QA resource that tries to actually assure quality will be either excised from the company, or be turned into a yes-man / rubber stamp by corporate movements.
That's almost exactly John Barnett's story.
Civil service.
When one of our people retires, they get a one page, mimeographed form instead of an exit interview. They are supposed to write down what their 25 years of experience on the job has taught them, and what lessons they would like to pass on to the upcoming leadership.
