If I work for a company and the owner/CEO has no plans, can't figure out how to save it and makes no sacrifices to try to save it nor will he seek advice from those who oppose him.. I resign from GM... I mean that attitude trickles down to even the janitors, and everyone starts worrying and the work suffers and the downward spiral speeds up.

Whereas, if the owner/CEO is optimistic has a plan, makes his own sacrifices and does whatever it takes to improve the company for ALL, that positive attitude flows and people work harder. The plan may or may not work but there is hope passed on because of attitude from the leadership.

The rest of what you said has merit and there are parts there I strongly agree with.
