How do short-term thinking business types infiltrate technology companies? (pawb.social)

I feel like it’s a common script that most good companies eventually fall to short term focused management types who are happy to shred the company as long as they get their golden parachute.

Why does this seem to be the case? If you wanted to build a company that was more immune to this sort of thing how would you go about it? Examples and counter examples of these sorts of companies would be awesome to hear about.

don't hire management externally. search loyal long time staffers who want to be promoted. don't just promote them; make sure they want that change in their tasks.

some employers think promoting staffers to management removes a person who is good at their job, but some become fed up and bored and will leave anyway, so might as well promote them. signs are, when they ask to work in a different department/position; it means they are loyal and want to stay, but are bored/frustrated with their current tasks.
