    My theory is short term decisions are generally made much further down the decision hierarchy and the CEOs main job SHOULD be more long term vision and planning. Most companies, except for a few, make decisions based on what makes them the most money in the shortest term so in effect the CEO doesn’t do shit and likely could be replaced by an AI. I wouldn’t be surprised to find most CEOs at this point are just highly paid proxies asking AI what to do.

      There are companies that work that way. In my experience, they either meddle in lower-level affairs themselves or command their department heads to do so on their behalf.

      Part of that I AM THE VISION is super easy to corrupt into WHY ARE YOU SO SHORT SIGHTED IN THE DAY-TO-DAY

      My last couple CEO’s have been S tier. They went out, brought in the investors, distributed the money downhill reasonably well.

      I’ve worked with plenty who couldn’t keep their dicks out of the company minutiae, metaphorically or physically.
