* ''Franchise/DragonBall'': From the Buu saga onward, Piccolo is typically depicted as long-suffering from the unreasonable antics of the other main cast members, to the point a recurring joke among fans is that he’s more of a babysitter than a team leader or strategist.

Bulma, the other SmartGuy, would also consider herself in line with this trope, but is usually far too [[NotSoAboveItAll petty and childish]] to hold any real high ground over anyone else.

Notably, Severus himself has such long experience that he has no such difficulty; he can immediately identify each mistake.

* Most popular depictions of UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler during VillainousBreakdown mode during the last part of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII involve him raving about being surrounded by traitors and fools. Whether any of this was right is another trope entirely, but most historians conclude that Hitler was losing his mind and his cohorts were busily trying to salvage their own skins. He was never a military genius and the maneuvers he insisted on helped lose the war faster, as well as costing him the loyalty of his former cohorts.
* Apparently, Julian Assange feels this way about his organization, which he more or less maintains total control over and runs from the top down. Telling quote:
-->''In an encrypted online chat, a transcript of which was passed to ''The Times'', Mr. Assange was dismissive of his colleagues. He described them as "a confederacy of fools," and asked his interlocutor, "Am I dealing with a complete retard?"''
* Several studies has shown that intelligent people tend to underestimate their intelligence and unskilled people overestimate theirs: the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning_Kruger_effect Dunning–Kruger effect]]. So stupid people will tend to think that they are surrounded by idiots. This is especially true if they're poor communicators and prone to using BuffySpeak or otherwise fail to use the correct words when giving instructions or describing something.
* This was actual advice given to Ivan the Terrible. "How do I make my seat of power stand firm?" -- "Do not keep anyone around who's smarter than you." Quite a few tyrants throughout history did likewise. The implication is thus that [[DespotismJustifiesTheMeans they care more about having power for its own sake]] [[ItsAllAboutMe than they do actually using it properly]].
* The non-fiction ''The Dictator's Handbook'' by Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and Alastair Smith details the mechanisms by why this is so often {{justified|Trope}} in real life. For a leader in charge of a small-coalition organization (that is, the leader only needs to rely on a relatively small number of people to keep themselves in power over a much large group of people, as in a dictatorship) loyalty to the leader is the most important criteria by which underlings are kept on and rewarded, [[TheStarscream since underlings have the capacity to undermine and even depose the leader should they feel the need and opportunity to do so]]. This takes even higher priority than competence: an incompetent but loyal underling can be trusted by the leader far more to keep them in power than a competent underling who's loyalty to the leader is uncertain. Competence and loyalty together are best, but ultimately loyalty is more important than competence, and oftentimes competence can actually ''decrease'' loyalty because the competent supporter is now less disposable to the leader, more valuable to potential other pretenders to the leader's position, or get the idea that they could become the new leader. This can, in cases, result in [[ShootTheDangerousMinion leaders executing or exiling key supporters who seem a little too good at their job]]...
