The vast majority of decisions that make or break companies are not done by the CEO. Or any of the C level people.

Most companies are like a train. The C level guys mostly report to the board where they think the train is going to be -- which is normally wag or ferry tail.

I know I am speaking in broad terms. There are companies out there where the CEO matters, but those are few and far .
