Centralized, hierarchical environments do not value honesty and reward good news only, so nobody wants to carry bad news upward, and problems are therefore detected late.

Source quote, verbatim

Honesty is often not valued in a centralized, hierarchical environment. In the heavily mediated and redacted corporate world, the focus is on "good news only." Nobody wants to be the messenger delivering bad news. This attitude often results in the late detection of issues and implications.
