I don't believe that. The average CEO is going to have perhaps ten direct reports. I'm willing to bet nearly every one of those is capable and up for the job.
- wallst07 7mo agoI don't think so, not even close. In my past I got high enough to barely touch the ceiling of a multi-billion dollar public company. I routinely had 1:1s with directs to the CEO. Not one of them would be willing or able to take that CEO job. Just the amount of public facing interviews on CNBC would disqualify half and the other half wouldn't want to do it. They were already being paid very well.
- red-iron-pine 7mo agoif they're directs to the CEO they're also C-levels and are getting pretty solid compensation. CFO or CTO or CISO gets compensated, and they have significant challenges and stress.
- dzikimarian 7mo agoWell, consider typical dev team - how many members usually are able to and want to jump to the staff level?
