Im convinced the big tech firms are so overly bloated simply because they do not possess high-quality leadership at the top who are able to clearly distill a vision of where they want their sub-ordinates to go.

That's not to say it's easy - its absolutely not. But Apple is living off of Steve Job's visionary prowess and continues to do so.

This was how I felt about Google in 2018. It's gotten less bloated and better in some ways, but the CEO is still autopilot.

Frankly autopilot is probably in the top quartile of company leadership. CEO flailing only seems to make things worse.
