Let me put it this way: someone who is a great engineer but has no skill in running and steering a large organisation will fail. Someone who knows how to do the latter might succeed by "using" talented engineers within the organisation.

Or someone who is an engineer with experience running large organizations? Why engineer means automatically no experiencing running large organizations in your mind is baffling.
If you have a great executive ticking all the boxes - splendid.

But there is no intrinsic link between being an engineer and being a good CEO (same holds for other disciplines, btw.). You could have engineers that qualify, lawyers, MBAs, mathematicians, physicists, ...

There is. You’re flat out incorrect.
Citation, please. And, no, having a plurality of top performing CEOs being engineers is not showing an intrinsic link between being an engineer and top performing CEO.
Find your own citations. You have received a reply of substance to your multitude of questions and requests for evidence many times. This is the reason I said you were sea lioning.

> Sealioning is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity, and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.

This is what you keep doing and it’s rather exhausting.

I wish you well. I hope you have a great day.

I am sorry, but you have not provided any evidence for (changing) your claims.

Have a great day.
