CEO enforces 'chaotic' work structure, employee's better alternative is rejected, everyone jumps ship: 'This isn't working out'

There is a reason why managers should take everyone's temperature on the team before instituting a policy. That way, you get a greater sense of how people may feel that procedures can be altered or made easier. That way, those at the top can have a greater understanding of what their team members are coming up against and whether or not their ideas should be adjusted to better fit their needs. 

Unfortunately, too many managers are too stubborn and self-absorbed to be able to internalize constructive criticism and empathize with the work experiences of others. This CEO clearly had zero interest in considering his team members' ideas before implementing what everyone, in hindsight, agreed to be a chaotic work structure.
