And you are qualified to judge right?

My point is that there are a lot of people that would make perfectly fine CEO’s skipped over because they’re not already a CEO/born into connections.

The strongest signal people use for determining whether they would be any good is whether they’re already one. Which is how people that torpedo a company get re-hired anyway.

Unlike for example, engineers, where we assume they can’t program their way out of a pack of butter even when they come in as a principal.
