I don't know if it's helpful but I can give two examples where it's harmful. In both cases the intense hierarchical culture actively obstructs bad news.

1. Asiana crash. Copilot did not want to tell pilot the approach looked wrong, and they flew into the ground. https://thediplomat.com/2013/07/asiana-airlines-crash-a-cock...

2. Fukushima and Tepco. Nobody wanted to say, "oops we messed up, might want to evacuate." http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-18718486
