It's more common than not that management and company leaders lack experience in software and even fundamental technical literacy.
They don't understand that software is unpredictable and that timelines and roadmaps can only ever be rough estimates.

When management demands detailed new plans and review meetings every time things don't go according to plan, it makes product managers want to nail everything down super early and not tolerate unknowns.
If tech leaders want to cultivate a culture that tolerates change and uncertainty, first understand that the best plans and timelines allow room for things to go wrong.. because reality check: 90% of the time things *will not go as planned*.
Also take a look at the systems put in place.
Humans are extremely adaptable and most of our collective behaviors, successes, and failures are a direct result of which behaviors a system rewards and which it punishes.
