I don't think he's an idiot, but certainly misguided and probably
suffering from an inflated ego; the translation being that he and his
staff believe their own bullsh1t.

You'll often see this in corporate management: a line manager, through
a series of crises, is promoted to, say, Senior Vice President within
just a few years.

The new SVP takes these promotions as divine notice that he's brillant
so he starts huge initiatives that are misguided.

Case in point: Volkwagen makes an $80,000 luxury car and tries to sell
them next to Jettas.  In addition, the car competes with their own
Audi A8 and requires VW dealers to stock a minimum of 2 for
maintenance loaners.

Who didn't think this was going to fail?  Answer: the exec and his
inner team.  They believed their own BS.
