Delusion and eventual debacle, that’s what.
According to the WSJ: “Neom executives shielded the crown prince from the challenges of his fantastical plans, including by engaging in ‘deliberate manipulation’ of financials, an internal report found”.
This is what happens when the apex executive wields violent power. This is an extreme example, but red, Alpha bosses are everywhere. Nobody wants to be the shot messenger, so they say yes and lie until the bitter end.
