There are absolutely some great leaders out there in executive positions, but there are also a lot of rich kids that step directly into C-level roles and really have no business being there. One of my requirements when taking on a job (and I work in smaller companies) is having a sit down with the executive and making sure they know what they're doing - after googling them and making sure they aren't just the child of some famous person. Being in a c-level position and having a famous relative is a bad sign for the company.
