OK, but many (most, if others' claims in this thread are to be believed) of them don't do so. That contradicts your original claim, unless you want to say that many/most CEOs are not "reasonably smart", which is dubious at best and armchair quarterbacking at worst.
- maerF0x0 9y agoThis is a good point. What's the pragmatic difference between can and does. Others have pointed out a good point too that many CEOs are so busy focusing on other things that they fail to do the learning they need to, effectively falling behind the needs of the company. I mostly am rejecting the knee jerk reaction of "Company has grown 100x and now requires a new CEO" ... Who knew this would spark so much discussion?
