There's another way to skin this cat. Assume you are not "CEO material", hire someone who turns out to be a complete fuckup to do it for you because of your self doubt.
I saw this happen to a company that basically invented the concept of hosted phone/communication services for business, back in the mid 90s. Their competitors are worth billions now. The third rate/bully/crook CEO the founder hired destroyed, literally, billions in opportunity.
(In retrospect the whole company was rotten to the core, so I enjoyed watching their competitor ring the NYSE bell, but if the founder had taken on the task of understanding his own business, this outcome would probably have been avoided).
