You can't pin this entirely on leadership, allowing global blast radius deployments without an extreme level of scrutiny is a failure of engineering culture.
At the very least the global policy should have been deployed prior to the regional service control deployments.
Engineering culture needs leadership and executive support to succeed and thrive. Blaming failures stemming from top down mandates and directives is unfair, because if the grunts don't follow orders they'll be given poor performance reviews or expediently managed out (aka Fired).
