The point is that generally people in management can be assumed to be doing their best.
Yes, but people in general judge themselves on their intentions while judging others on their results.
Part of maturing is figuring out how to not do this. Until that happens, it's easy for someone to find faults with everyone everywhere.
For me, I'm reminded of the times early in my career where our marketing people were making what I thought were the most boneheaded moves I could have imagined. One project in particular seemed especially bad and like we were flushing marketing dollars and IT resources down the toilet. That project ended up being responsible for 60% of our business for several years. From that, I learned to fulfill my role to the best of my ability and always respect the opinion of experts in other roles. They might not bat 1000, but I don't either.
