Most large corporations in America have a weird incentive structure problem. Nobody cares if the real work is done as long as their own jobs are protected.
This obviously means that if a savvy exec is putting the heat on the VP, the heat will transparently propagate to the lowest level leaf nodes worker. None of the middle layers take no responsibility ever. The managers will even go to the extent of firing the leaf nodes than admitting failure.
If the incentive structure were changed so that management gets fired first, everything will get produced automatically.
