Literally every single thing in this list was produced by a group of people moving towards a well-defined, unified goal. But in today's FAANG and FAANG-wannabes, these kinds of efforts are near impossible because of middle-management politics.

Perhaps CEOs are so far removed from their employees that they don't even realize what is actually going on in the company.
