May I suggest first figuring out if the CEO is suffering from NPD (narcissistic personality disorder); if so, you need out of there. An NPD CEO is not concerned about what is right or good for business, he's concerned about establishing his image to subordinates, customers, investors as a person, nay, as a Messiah, who is vastly intelligent, experienced and wise and should be followed blindly and committed to utterly. He will accomplish this not by quietly demonstrating these attributes but by actively portraying and marketing himself and his image at every opportunity. That kind of person will stunt your personal growth and development immeasurably.
