"Succession" is a television drama series that premiered in 2018 and follows the story of the Roy family, a wealthy and powerful media family that controls a global media and entertainment conglomerate. The show explores themes of power, family dynamics, and the high-stakes world of corporate business. It centers around the patriarch of the family, Logan Roy, and his four adult children, who are all vying for control over the family business. As they navigate the complex and often cutthroat world of corporate politics, the family members must also confront their own personal demons and struggles, while trying to maintain their position of power and influence in the world.
a ruthless and powerful businessman wants to maintain his power and control over the company ; his family, and his legacy but tensions and power struggles arise within the family of four adult children.

A Leader that is smart, wise, quick and proven-made successful choices, aggressive, 10 steps ahead, manipulative and a ripe business person describes Logan as a successful owner of a billion-dollar company, but what is the use of all of that when he does not have a competent people under his wings. Logan is parsimonious with information and knowledge of business, or simply he does not know any better, he doesn't teach his kids the right way of business aside from abusing them. Nor he doesn't let his minions take use of their authority and he appears to micromanage everything under his nose. His so-called executives are, Gerri, Karl, and Frank along with Siobhan and Roman have lost their senses and control once Logan’s UTI infection is causing him delirium.
Their long ‘ripe’ experience in the business seems to be useless, these old seniors executives, do not seem to be able to make a decision without Logan's approval, they seem to lost any logic and the scene continues to be this topsy-turvy, tumultuous group of adult experts and seniors-long-time-in-the-field-experienced execs who doesn't know how to make a decision and scared to take responsibility for it. In fact, they are just operating out of fear all this time.
Why does this happen? I personally think this happens in today's modern-day high-functioning corporate ecosystem, maybe because it is not as dramatic as is it is portrayed in succession, but in a way, an immature power comes and immature delegation. Logan is not open to his own people, Gerri the general advisor even thinks that he must know something he isn't sharing. He does not delegate and always shouts and punishes them when they make a decision without his approval, he doesn't believe in their competencies making them decorative-obedient minions, even though he paid them high enough to have some authority in decision making.
