I think managers will do that (keep popel around just in case), but businessmen (or CEO's) will optimize for what's best for the business. No? A lower-level manager who actually sees the nitty-gritty of getting something done will not really have as much of a say in the broader business.

Really? I feel most optimize for their short term bonuses. Which makes them take too great risks since they won't owe the shareholders anything if they fail. Like all these overhiring sprees.

Yeah, CEO's likely optimize for their bonuses...depressing to think about it; but most likely the CEO's compensation is aligned to what the company wants to be the outcome financially.
