Not sure if I agree with the sentiment here or not, I'll need to ponder it longer, but just wanted to say that I worked at a large company that did the "CEO with non-manager conversation" thing. At Advanced Micro Devices, in the late 80's and early 90's, both the CEO and the COO would have lunches with random employees from the lower ranks, I assume to get stories from outside their bubble.
AMD was successful in some ways in those days, and unsuccessful in others, so I'm not sure what conclusion to draw here, except that it wasn't so unique for Steve Jobs to have contact with the lower ranks in order to get feedback from outside his bubble.
