The examples you cite could not be more different if you tried.
a) One is working towards their IPO.
b) One was taken private, and doing nothing would have resulted in Chapter 11
c) The 3rd is a public company, trying to unwind a moonshot project with a budget that dwarfed the cost of the NASA Apollo space program itself.
The common themes in these disparate scenarios is that all 3 leadership "styles" have a strong sense of self-interest (and short term self-preservation), period.
