Correct, people have goals. However leadership sets the agenda, goals, priorities and the direction of the organization.
If the leadership is weak, uninterested or unengaged, then yes, middle management can take their stab at steering the ship (and compete with each other to do it). On the other hand, they can also just be fired if they get uppity, and if leadership has someone stepping on their toes or undermining them, well rank has it’s privileges and anyone can be replaced. Make the distinction between a working stiff with law enforcement power and a pencil pushing swamp creature with political power.

How effective these efforts will be depends entirely on whether and how they match those of the people working there. The appointees have literally no way to know how well their orders are being followed, except as by reported by those who they hope are following them.
