Most CEOs don’t even know what products their companies produce. I kid you not. They can tell you the industry they serve, but very little about anything going on. They are not really chief executives, they are more like a figure head. Useless money suckers.

So true.
I witnessed this in a career in the mining industry.
The industry transitioned from mining enginers and geologists in upper management to financial and legal types in charge.
Most couldn't tell the difference between a haul truck and a bicycle, and worse, didn't want to know.
