Mmmm. This doesn't apply to the current boss (ie, the chief kahuna), but many of the "hankers for the big ranks" are quite willing to stomp upon whomever is necessary to achieve this, and many "hankers for the big ranks" have ended up being renowned wankers and why they've been employed by the commercial sector is beyond those who have truly and intimately known them and their work.
