It's not just in the corporate world. Trump is a good example. He's a complete douchebag and obviously has no clue about anything, but he somehow makes up for it with his extreme self-confidence.
The world is extremely complex, so it's understandable that posers who claim to have figured it out are popular. I think many people even know that the guy they're following is full of shit, but they can't accept that they are victims of forces they don't control or even understand, so they lie to themselves to at least feel a little bit of security.
