Baby steps mate. I agree with you but think such a view is a bit too progressive for the majority of management.
In large organizations there tend to be a lot of pretty arbitrary deadlines and unfortunately overall good work does not seem to offset missing a few arbitrary deadlines. So upper management hammers middle management who in turn hammers the team lead who then either bottles it up or pushes it down onto the plebes below.
In startups being different (ehm sorry not a good "cultural fit") is enough to get you fired so good luck if you expect understanding and support.
I think the best option is to work in a large organization under a respected, strong, and results driven team lead doing important work.
