Inevitably, these multitudes of bureaucracies and cultic personality sects will produce a subset of those with power who mistake entropy for progress, and whose actions augment failure. The thing is, these individuals typically mistake having been in power as their own competence. I have found this especially true in my work with nonprofit organizations, where major donors are sometimes given the organizational wheel, despite them not having any background in the nonprofit sector and, frankly, no clue what they are doing.
