"...These leaders too often fixate on advancing their own fame, fortune, glory and legacies at the expense of the company and Cause. Management becomes disconnected from people and trust breaks down. And when performance starts to suffer as a result, these same leaders are quicker to blame others than to look at what set the company on the new path in the first place. In order to "fix" the problem, their faith in people is replaced with faith in the process. The company becomes more rigid and decision-making powers are often taken away from the front lines. It can't be a good thing when the captain of the ship, who is supposed to be on deck navigating toward the horizon, is now in the ship tinkering with the engine trying to make it go faster."
- Simon Sinek, The Infinite Game
