The paper discusses the consequences of this managerial failure.

From the Paper:

"Jock Sinclair, for instance, gains his position without being prepared for it. For one thing, he drinks more than he should. For another, he is put in charge of a peacetime unit when that is not what he wants to do at all. His lack of desire for the job is a major reason why he does not do well at it, and it is also a reason why he should not have been given that job in the first place. A prerequisite for being a good manager is to want to be a good manager, and without that desire, Jock will not give the job the attention it requires and deserves."
