What do you call...?
The man in the empty suit.
I spent a long time in management circles. Saw too many of these guys. Got where they were through personal connections. Once there, if all under them went well through absolutely no effort on their part, they were fine. If things weren't going well, there was hell to pay with random victims burnt at the stake. Random because of course the empty suit had no real idea what was going on and who really was the problem.
Then when it crashed, via those connections again, onto the next job.
