You know an organisation is in trouble when all new managers are hired from outside the company.
This is a function of narcissism. because there is a logical disconnect that says "anyone who works here must be stupid, so we will go hire a smart person from outside". I've watched this happen. A certain manager went through three externally sourced assistant managers in quick succession before she found one "special" and compliant enough to participate in her rotten schemes, a graduate of Oxford no less.
