You seem to think the “typical CEO” is running IBM or Oracle. I’ll bet the “typical CEO” is more like me - running a small business (single to double digit employees total) and paying themselves less than a senior developer would get. I have no teams of advisors and I can ask people for advice but I’m the one who will actually be impacted (possibly life changing impact) by which (often contradictory) advice i choose to take! The hard part is not “making a decision” in that sense, anyone could flip a coin and “make a decision”. It’s living with the stress of constant decision making and you and a bunch of other people having to live with the results of your decisions (which can easily end up costing you and them their jobs).
