How did CEO become "project manager"?

And do you have any idea how complicated being a product manager is? You have to deeply understand your entire team's footprint, blockers, other teams, industry trends.. It's hard work. Plus you manage timelines and have to de-risk every single day.

I don't think you know what you're talking about.

A factory worker takes a day or week to train.

A product manager takes years to change.

A CEO is learning every single day, doing the PM job for the company + hiring + managing relationships + so much more. If they don't, their company is dead. They're steering a giant ship by wire.

Well if you take a look at the project managers in for example... Accenture.. Most of them have none of the skill you mentioned. They just have been at the right place at the right time... They know what ass to kiss and go along their days happily double clicking on the internet and overselling government it projects....

Alot of the same can be said about many startup ceos.

Just take a look at all the crypto startups that made millions in 2017-2018
