When people in administrative, leadership, and coaching roles disguise their incompetence with ego and hubris, often successfully warding off questions or criticism until they have done significant damage to the business.

Usually found in corporate activities, processes and projects it is that amount of effort, time or money expended with the sole purpose of assuaging or satiating a decision-maker's ego.
