This is basically just saying that CEOs are allowed to lie because they're also lying to themselves at the same time, but honestly I think that goes back to the incompetence thing.
Two weeks between "no layoffs, we're doing great!" to "yup, we're laying people off" means that the CEO had to be optimistic to the point of delusion (or incompetent, as I said).

To be fair, there are times when they layoffs are imminent but the CEO keeps optimism up and sometimes the customer/funding does show up and the money doesn't run out. You typically don't hear about these ones (or only years later).
