    To answer the question:

    ...the job of an executive is: to define and enforce culture and values for their whole organization, and to ratify good decisions.

    The part I find more interesting is the failure modes. Of all the places I've worked, they've all had some level of all of the different failures the author listed. The key to a good work culture is recognizing and working through/around those failures. The best places are the ones that recognize those failures and learn from them.
