It may or may not be relevant, but the moment you become a manager, mirroring becomes more painful: because there are some tradeoffs between people under you that aren't going to be "win/win" all 'round, and you're the one who gets to disappoint someone. I can see that for some bosses, the easiest thing is just not to run the simulations at all; not to acknowledge too clearly that you're (inevitably) causing disappointment. Not the right choice, but an easy choice.
