That makes as much sense as saying (knowing) that the only difference in basketball skill between you and LeBron James is that he thinks higher of himself.
You’re really likening running a company against the skills of a professional athlete? Put down the kool aid. CEOs are figureheads. Very few have ever had actual meaningful impact on the progress of their companies (or anything really) compared to their most talented engineers.
I’m done pretending they’re important. It’s a lie they and the boards have sold us and investors. The real meat of a company is who their smartest people are, and how much the company enables those people.
Pretty easy to see the difference if you consider between a company full of smart people who actually make things vs a company full of CEOs, which one will do better.
