- js8 2y agoBecause we prefer to attribute big deeds (both positive and negative) to a single person rather than a collective. CEOs (and other "leaders") are good at spinning their good deeds as their achievements, while attributing their bad deeds to something else. This is because are brains are not large enough to track misbehaviour in large, anonymous groups, so we cannot prevent hierarchy forming as a sort of simplified model.
