What exactly do you think the CEOs of large corps do? Make sound decisions based on their experience in the trenches of their industry? Ha! Their entire role is to be a frat boy, party (aka "network") with other CEOs, allow the board/private equity to make dumbass decisions that'll tank the company, then take the fall when those decisions inevitably lead to problems. Nepo baby is a legit resume booster because it means you were born with more connections than most people will ever have.

    I've worked with a lot of CEOs and while a lot of them are as you describe, many of them are smart and have a good handle on what their company does. And too many of them are afflicted with varying degrees of sociopathy.

    Worked with CEOs of what size companies? Small business CEOs definitely need to know their shit and put in the work. Enterprise CEOs need to look good in press conferences and have books full of billionaires.
