Investors care about results; they don't care about the style middle management uses. This is a false dichotomy.
If the company is focused on short-term wins to the detriment of long-term viability, that's a separate issue (and really has nothing to do with management style).

If this means results suffer (probably), then it's pretty obvious the cause in this case, right?
