This is nonsense. I know CEOs and they are not “leisure class”, managing the running of a company and executing on strategy is an endless job.

Sure some CEOs might drop out and play golf, but all that proves is you have slackers at any level of an org

When you can be CEO of multiple companies at the same time _and_ be on the board of several other companies, being CEO clearly isn't a full time job, at least for the people that aren't just focused on being CEO of a single company.

Yes, see my second point. Anyone can slack off on their job. Leading a real business with any kind of significant headcount is a full time job.
