I'm surprised no one has raised the problem of senior managers and VPs underestimating and oversimplifying the complexity and LOE of work. It causes unrealistic timelines for others who do have to adhere to a release process (which is never perfect but certainly necessary). "Yes CEO, of course we can get that in by tomorrow, no problem."

When the work misses the impossible deadline the feedback usually points to an underperforming organization and rarely to unrealistic estimation.
