Ask HN: Incompitent leaders & managers think they are always right don't they?

This isn't universal but I've tracked it down so often I'm beginning to see a pattern. For every bad API, every nightmare complaint, every breakdown, every bad things - I can usually trace it to some authority who believes everything they did was right. I rarely (if ever) find someone who says "we don't know what we're doing". It's usually "I'm right, your wrong" end of conversation.
