Some CEOs I’ve met aren’t smart.
The vast majority that I’ve worked with are deeply analytical, highly intelligent and understand people really well. By any measure they are “very smart”.
But what all CEOs are, like most people who get to that level, is incredibly disciplined and willing to sacrifice almost anything to achieve at work. They work insane hours, at least all the ones I’ve seen.
It’s a nice story that it’s just a lottery and once you’re there you’re somehow in some secret club. The reality, at least as far as I’ve seen it, is very different.
Psychopaths. The word you're looking for is psychopaths.
Maybe true in general. I’d love to hear about your experiences. I’ve worked closely to four CEOs. Only one of them stand felt like they treated people as objects. The rest were actually deeply concerned about how other people felt.
