I’m so tired of hearing reports of what CEOs and billionaires say, as if it was news. These people aren’t smart, they just managed to stay on stop for longest. Quit giving them a platform.

Most CEOs are smart. They’re smart in the corporate politics that keep one in such a position. They’re apparently doing something right in the eyes of the board members, or they’d be fired.
They are not smart in any sense that benefits humanity. The only thing they benefit is themselves.

“The board” is mostly just CEOs of other companies. All they have to do is vote for each others’ absurd compensation packages, no smartness required. It’s a true circlejerk.

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; it’s about what you’re willing to give up to get there.
