It's a mix of fealty and class consciousness. I've spent enough time in boardrooms to know the only prerequisite to sitting at the table is being born on third base. Basically the boss needs their immediate advisors to only do what's necessary (which usually ain't much), not bite the hand that feeds while doing it, and all of them have to understand they're all part of the non-poor club who get paid because the suckers below them put in a hard day's work.
