For me, this season feels like that situation you have at work when someone you know to have underwhelming management skills gets promoted to look after a project.

They pull a rabbit out of a hat to get the project done. Senior management are pleased and give them the bonus they promised.

Meanwhile, the team that worked on the project is in a mess: they have no idea what their role is, they have had no personal development and have gone backwards, several have become passengers because their opinion doesn't seem to matter. Other people in the organisation know that it's a team to avoid getting pulled into.

The next project they take on is an absolute disaster, and the manager blames the team.
