Hubris

Wikipedia says that Hubris "means extreme haughtiness or arrogance. Hubris often indicates being out of touch with reality and overestimating one's own competence or capabilities, especially for people in positions of power."

Ford Motor Company used to have a slogan, "Quality is Job One." I think that based on the definition above, we could easily paraphrase Ford and adopt "Hubris is Job One" as our national slogan.
