Those involved in the support areas do. It's their way or the highway. To put it another way they get very stressed when dealing with ambiguity. when anyone raises issues involving ambiguity they start shouting. Then there are those who are emotionally immature, etc. the F III de seal/ reseal scandal explores all this.
To be fair, I don't mind rigid thinkers maintaining my aircraft (an Ansett engineer developed a persecution complex - the company made him chief inspector - exquisite promotion!).
However such folk, while they have their uses, have no business running civilian institutions staffed by ordinary humans.
