Ive worked on both ends of the spectrum and id prefer too much process to too little
With too little process, people release bugs that I then have to scramble to fix. The CEO who pushed to skip QA and unit testing and everything in the name of release never has to deal with the consequences of their impatience
That same CEO would likely also push to have all of the things including no bugs, then complain people aren't productive enough when arbitrary and unrealistic deadlines aren't met.
Source: my personal experience. Very few of the managers who can code that I've worked with were better than any of the ones who couldn't, and those who did actively code while managing were universally worse.
