The hierarchy the President is on top of is the executive branch. These guys. They all have all the problems that come with being a large organization, plus patronage positions and, in the case of regulators, having to hire from the industry they're regulating because that's where the knowledge is, but for the most part they all know what they're doing and do it as well as they can within the constraints of being large organizations. They do not benefit from more leadership; like all large organizations, they could do with far fewer leaders.
