The former fall into the trap you have outlined, not realizing how it makes them look bad. People in the latter group are focused on helping and contributing, and put themselves after that. You may achieve short-term success focusing on yourself, but you will achieve long-term success and satisfaction by focusing on others.

While on one hand you can’t fault people for trying to show their value and effort (especially in today’s job market), I think the reason they aren’t providing the “to-the-point” information that is needed has to do with ego, self-promotion, and self-protection. Rather than approaching the work or presentation from the angle of how it is useful to others in the company or the company itself, I think they are approaching it from the angle of how it makes them look. You make a good point — covering up problems or avoiding them by focusing on progress alone isn’t helpful to anyone in the long run and problems certainly don’t disappear.
