I believe having a talented dictatorial leader at top may be only solution. Like Steve Jobs, Bill gates or Jeff Bezos. Once they believe in a path, they have methods to get it done. Internet Tidal Wave memo is a good example of it. Zuckerberg is able to invest 100s of billions on a future he believes in.

Obviously the observation has a confirmation bias.




Companies through their usual hierarchical structuring are authoritarian by nature. However, many leaders are no actual leaders, they are just bureaucrats, and that is the reason why things get stuck.
