I absolutely agree, and at the same time it’s how large and (!) mid-sized companies often work. And it’s not only management that behaves like that but many employees as well.
When I was a manager in a mid-sized companies I was a strong proponent of what I called “The dictatorship of ideas”. Let’s not care where the idea is coming from but try to create better and better ideas all the time. Not everyone liked it.

Not everyone liked it because it was improving the company without changing the political status quo. It's a bit like Washington and Franklin saying 'Hey we want Representation and Taxation" and King George saying "Ok, but you stay as subjects" Lots of small ideas can improve an organisation, but sometime big ideas imply 'regime change'
