demolition executive

Demolition Executives are people appearing to be executive leaders or appearing to have authority over sphere(s) of influence, that make critical (seemingly bumbling) mistakes at semi-strategic milestones in order to implode the area over which they hold dominion (Corporation, Organization, Political Position). Sometimes overtly self-destructive, but more often a subtle form of long-term corporate espionage where operations costs are driven up to offset profit and literally companies "Fall into their own footprint," becoming ripe for acquisition and mergers. Common tools in the arsenal of the Demo Exec are plausible deniability, projection, and self effacement. Common psychological responses to Demo Execs are Denial, and Stockholm Syndrome.

Dude, time to roll. They brought in a Demolition Executive.
