Re point one: There’s little incentive to accommodate someone who doesn’t finish an assigned task, even when that person comes up with something amazing, creative, and innovative that is way more valuable. The result is a job evaluation of “Doesn't follow directions.”
Re point two: In my experience, the vast majority of people don’t read the things they’re assigned or supposed to read, they just skim them. So the issue isn’t reading a book, it’s writing one.
