A players do their best to hire A players.
B players hire C players. C players hire D players, etc.
It takes a few B players at the top to ruin the whole thing.
If being able to do something was the limiting factor, governments would hire the best and yet, the opposite seems to be universally true.
All groups fall prey to B players running things and ruining everything which is why we have this wonderful renewal mechanism of birth and death, so that things don't stagnate too much :)

But governments generally aren't able to hire the best because their smaller hiring budgets mean they can't always (but sometimes can) offer industry-competitive salaries. A few departments are able to hire the best people though - especially when they're for "force-multiplier" positions, like the US Digital Service, for example - which was started by former Google engineers.
