One very important clarification. I believe your issue is not with staff, but with the board.
There's plenty of blame to go around. ICANN's board has never exercised meaningful authority over the staff. This sort of screwup happens all the time, and I do not know the staff well enough to tell to what extent it's ineptness and to what extent it's insubordination, although it hardly matters. If I had one question for potential board members, it would be "how will you make the board take control of the staff?"
