Adolf Hitler also encouraged rivalry between his subordinates, so that nobody could ever threaten the power of the fuhrer himself.
"It was not negligence, not excessive tolerance and consideration which prompted Hitler, ordinarily so ready to cut across complexities, to create a tangle of struggles for position and conflicts of authority among the top men of the National Socialist State. There was a method in the madness. In this way Hitler had at his disposal two or three "chiefs" in every field, each with an extensive apparatus. He could ensure execution of his plans by playing one man off against the other or showing preference to one rather than another. His method systematically disorganized the objective authority of the higher departments of government—so that he could push the authority of his own will to the point of despotic tyranny." — Otto Dietrich, The Hitler I Knew, New York: Skyhorse Publishing Inc., 2010, pp. 96-97.

Obama only fires people for dissent, and doesn’t fire people for incompetence.
