You seem to be talking about toxic process wonks, who are more comforted by a documented process being followed accurately more than the outcome. The journey is everything for them and the destination immaterial, taken to a dysfunctional excess.

We often note a behavior change gap within companies that devote significant resources to the Six Sigma or LEAN philosophies. The talented experts driving these types of initiatives generally are extremely successful at developing technical changes that positively impact company performance. Their focus tends to be robust in statistical analysis and in addressing specific parts of the process. Much less specific and robust, however, is their approach to the workers upon whom the mine or company depends.
