Executives are often the most smug, overconfident, easiest to bullshit individuals. You’re the easiest to fool when you believe you can’t be fooled, and you’re most likely to make a bad management decision when you’re put in a position that says “you’re allowed to decide stuff because you’re incredibly smart and correct.”
A company doesn’t have to convince everyone who works for a company, or even just the people who are going to get fired. They just have to convince one dude who has power at the organization, and suddenly 4,000 people get fucked.
Don’t forget that they’re only accountable to investors who are extremely gullible, especially in the tech and sales sectors.
Upper management doesn’t excel at decision making, they excel at convincing others they make good decisions.
