As you move up the chain, some people are changed. Wether they make choices by fear, political reasons, or simply because they are great at taking a test and retaining book smarts but can't apply 'knowledge' to real life scenarios....decision making gets skewed.
My experience is that the "someone in charge" is as worthless as tits on a nun if they didn't start out as one of those "low guys on the totem pole".
If that someone in charge worked their way up, they'll more than likely do a good job.
God help them if it is some overeducated pimple prick that got the position as a reward.
