Goering owed his position to the machinations of the Nazi party. While 'Bomber' Harris had the support of Churchill he never feared for his life on the PM's mood/inclinations. Any history of the Lufwaffe, or a well researched novel such as those by Len Deighton or Colin Willock, give insight into why the Luftwaffe failed to develop strategic bombers.
