Like a Drunkard.

The bad boss stumbles along like a drunkard, supremely confident in their judgement and poise, oblivious to their staggering path and incoherent mutterings.

The bad boss attracts sycophants who cheer on their boss’s wisdom and navigation skills.

Thanks to the hidden efforts of the workers with mortgages, enough works out to create and strengthen a false sense of confidence in the meaningless meanderings of the bad boss.
