Being a bit closer to the C-Level of a larger company, I can assert that greed, lack of vision and jumping on bandwagons is not exclusive to one nationality.

Yes but I feel like my countrymen are much more prone to people-pleasing (or in this case board-pleasing) because of our culture. We’re just expected to bow to authority.

Even if you’re the authority yourself?

CEOs like this let the board control them instead of convincing board members of their plans.

And yeah, great place for con-men, especially of the religious variety.
