Have you ever heard of a corrupt leader (politician, businessman), ask for reform? No. If at all, it would be pretty rare. That is because if they are skimming from the top, or benefiting in some way, it is easy to throw their hands up in the air and say "there is no solution" to any problem, and continue on. Obviously, human nature leads you to believe there is no reason for a change, and you should make it last, as long as you can, as long as it is good for you. In essence, most are programmed to "Milk that cow, till the udder runs dry".
On the flip side, those that have the short end of the stick would like to find solutions and work for things to be better. They cry out for help. Look for some way to make those changes happen. After being frustrated when their cries are unanswered, they become less productive over time and sometimes eventually leave.
Good leaders are able to sniff out these situations and make changes. The best leaders are even proactive. I have thought about this at length. Are leaders who cannot find solutions, part of the problem? They usually, they are. They are incompetent, incapable or immature enough not to get the help they need. The best managers I have worked for are open to ideas, find new solutions and continuously make improvements, open to working with diverse groups of people and most importantly humble. The worst managers I have worked for, all work at Juniper.
