The man who just "carried the message to Garcia" actually had autonomy and trust. When the President heard of the delivery, he didn't ask if Rowan followed the previously established ruleset for message delivery. Petulant, undetermined people do exist in subordinate roles. However, oftentimes managers put up barriers but then weep and moan into their hands - why oh why can't my job be to sit and ask for things to be completed?
