This guy right here is one of the few comments in this thread that "get it". OP seems genuinely interested in the success of the team, where as who he's talking about, seemingly at least, is interested in his own success - this isn't bad, but it generally goes against the grain of building a team of happy campers.

As @eriktate said, you either make some noise because you care, or you realize that the people above this person don't understand what makes great technical leadership actually great, and you leave.
