Cronyism or the buddy system. Where the wrong people are put in charge because of relationships not because of merit. These incompetent managers use fear tactics, the creation of in-group to defend their incompetence, and creation of a toxic environment which encourages bad behavior.
- giantg2 6y agoI'd also add lack of due diligence to this. Some people are promoted due to visibility and group-think that the person is good, without it being based on real examples or results. I've seen people skyrocket through the ranks just because people know their name, even if there are others who are contributing as much or more to the project.
