No no no, you ID'd a very important issue but dont go far enough.
You are not only right (as a CEO who def has some narcissism), but charisma \ narcissism is like crazy \ eccentric. The term changes historically post success. It becomes revisionism.
Going from 0 to 1 requires a ton of luck, but really the it's the belief that outsiders are wrong about the statistical odds from going from 0 to 1 and sticking with it till it works or you break. It takes an unreasonable personality to get there and then that unreasonable personality has to adapt to a more measured one to protect the turf. Its ironic but the sword that gets most startups early success kills it eventually.
Innovation in general is hard to do without outlier personalties in this realm.
I dont have a great solution, but I can confidently say that unreasonable people both change the world and torture loved ones.
