> so people at the bottom let their "mother hen" boss take more responsibility. In strong engineering cultures like Sweden and Germany

I'm not sure if I understood it correctly or there was a typo, I am surprised because my experience is almost opposite.

my experience with Swedish and German multinationals is that it's all about consensus, to a point where the best decisions would be rejected if it lacks support, or where the off-ramp would be no decision (which is also a decision). this I found in stark contrast to French, Italian, Spanish, UK/US/Australian organizations, that tend to value the ego driven hero who saves the day. Also these former locations seem to do better when dealing with chaos as they know how to "think on their feed".

I'm curious from your experience would these companies be start-ups or medium sized firms, or could there be other reasons I'm missing that our experience is so different?
