Not always. Said by people who worked at tesla/spacex, many engineers and tech people have to dance around, present correct decisions such a way that the asshat at top realises it and does it. Lots of theatre. If they don't do that, the guy just does whatever he want, often leading horrible outcomes. It's only working because there are enough people who are passionate enough for the project and want it to succeed. Such people would leave if that was just a software company.
