A new Big Bad is on the march. Time for the forces of good to stand up and fight. Unfortunately for the heroes, the man in charge of their particular political organization has Head-in-The-Sand Management, and sees no reason to do this. Perhaps he literally doesn't see the threat. Perhaps he doesn't think that the threat is a problem for their specific country. In any event, he's going to do his best to get in the way of doing anything productive to fight the villain. Head-in-The-Sand Management is usually not portrayed as himself a bad guy, just willfully blind to the problem.

Head-in-The-Sand Management is usually not portrayed as himself a bad guy, just willfully blind to the problem. May also be an Obstructive Bureaucrat. Frequently used by the villain for their Evil Plan, in which case, expect a Heel Realization when they recognize the threat and their role in it. Compare with The Quisling, a leader who is literally in the employ of the villain. Opposite number to the Reasonable Authority Figure. See also Divided We Fall and What Could Possibly Go Wrong? == Comics ==* The Guardians of the Universe in the Green Lantern mythos frequently fill this role, most recently in the "Blackest Night" event, where all save two refuse to believe in the prophecy and the coming of the War of Light until it is too late.
