I'm not so good as you or other people here, and I watched your video, but want to share my small opinion about situations when development goes to the mess.
How to make a hell in the code/work/teams/ and fire everyone:
Implement: Agile/Scrum/GTD/Kanban and force people to follow it
Paint graphs, write tons of docs and do everything except code
Do not pay a good salary and do not make any motivation programs, your workers work really bad, they can't follow so ideally tuned Agile/Scrum/GTD/Kanban, so they are stupid and not deserve for a good salary and rewards.
Do not have any abstract plans to which you must be tied (very abstract things), or create a very detailed plan which is locked between each task, and force people unbound and unlock task by task.
Name a deadline without any beta/alpha testing and release it.
I think maybe part of the problem is that your boss won't want to let go of any advantage they perceive they have.
The only option becomes leaving the team to go elsewhere, but that takes time, and so things like 8+ hour developer days become a norm and you're not able to do your best work.
Instead of being in the zone, working for 6 hours a day you'll maybe hit 3-4 with 5 hours of meetings and just asking someone X or Y because you're fatigued and cannot do your best work for > 6 hours per-day

Ouch, sorry that sounds miserable. Maybe you can pick one of those things and see if there’d be a way to make it better?
