Isn’t this the ongoing problem though?

Leaders take on people like Gray without the slightest awareness that said person, or a Dominic Cummings in Boris’s case, possess the knowledge needed to make their own lives a nightmare.

They also lack the awareness to understand these people have a tendency to be malign and have their own agenda.
