So true! And scarily, this discourages people from focusing on a fix. Instead they try to constantly rationalize their position in the company, often ranking themselves over others (without necessarily bad intentions - the motivation structure just encourages it.) The goal becomes save me, not the ship. The ship gets into more and more trouble and eventually is no longer crewed/fit for purpose.
