I have not meant to portray him as an "egomaniac control freak." To me it seems:

1) he wants to keep his job, and be empowered at his job, just like the rest of us
and
2) he has no clue that he sucks at his job in terms of personnel, so in his mind there is no reason to delegate power.

That is, personally I see Allen less as controlling and more as incompetent and unaware of his incompetence.
