I do think there is another side to this though. I think equally bad for the organization are people who are entirely supportive of huge mistakes:
- Encouraging people to try any technology they want in an important, tight-deadline project
- Telling people there's "No wrong way" to do things
- Spending tons of time mentoring people who show little/no-motivation and low rate-of-learning
- Refusing to perform a root-cause-analysis because it might seem to indirectly indicate blame
- Inviting unknowledgeable people who talk to much to meetings above their station for "inclusion"
- Not correcting the spread of misinformation
