Anyone who has had a sub-part boss and manager has probably realized just how much someone’s delusions can (and will) cause headaches for the folks actually trying to get work done at the end of the day.

Of course, an important point is that these managers often don’t quite know that they are incompetent. Sometimes they are so removed from the reality of the work that they come up with, frankly, hairbrained schemes and ideas that the employees have to suffer through.
