These companies would not exist without him
Every time I see this about a CEO there's a second sentence on the same breath about how the competition is lagging. I've worked for and with a lot of CEOs. None of them have a fucking clue. They're so insulated from reality that any success they have can be attributed to a combination of luck, privilege and just like not being clinically handicapped.
I'm currently working on a project where everyone hails the chairman as a visionary. He's the number on impediment to actually getting anything done. He's also a billionaire, and despite all of this the project will be successful, and he will get credit for it.
