Chris Collins argues that many managers believe they are effective despite lacking visibility into financial statements. He warns that when managerial judgment is based on feelings rather than measurable outcomes, decision-making becomes unstable and subjective, hindering the ability to find a clear path forward.

They believe that they are effective and good managers, and they really have no clue what they're doing in the sense they don't see the financial statement. So they're running a business and they're judged on feelings, not on actual outcomes. And so whenever you're judged on feelings and not actual outcomes, there's this huge gap left for interpretation that you can never really find your path because somebody's mood can change in a second, right?
