This is so dumb. I never believed the hype around CEOs, but I still thought they needed to have something, anything, to reach their position.
But the artificial dumbness time really reveals how many of them simply had simply dumb luck and no morals. And that was apparently enough for all of human history because their underlings protected them from acting to stupid. And now they think they don’t need those underlings anymore. Well, at least I can laugh myself to death before the climate wars.

Shareholders care about only one thing, and its not the company or its employees. Of course maniacal idiots are at the top of the list for CEO, their too narcissistic and lack empathy to care.

Oh for sure! I just thought in their heads was a certain kind of business savvyness to reach their position. But it seems they just hear the echo of their own voice.

The “no morals” part is their main qualifier

simply being an asshole and not caring about how your actions affect other people can get you surprisingly far in life
just imagine all the time that you save if you never return your shopping cart, or park anywhere you want, or butt to the front of lines

A close second is connections to others with money and no morals.
