> Many CEOs are regular people

Agreed

> who happen to be overtly charismatic to a fault.

Not so much.

> they're being themselves and doing what they did to get their position.

yes, there is a way of talking in industry that allows people to rise through the ranks. Its very rare that you get to the top by being an odious prick all the time.

However, people on the inside don't tend call out CEOs, because they need something from them. If you are frank with your CEO and they don't like it, you're out on your arse, to be replaced by a yes man. (not always, but its surprisingly common)

It is very easy to become a CEO as a normal person, only to develop into an horrid shit later.




>Not so much.

Could probably fix that quote by adding "believe they are."

>who happen to believe they are overtly charismatic to a fault.
