The same consequences that a person lower down the ranks would have.

For example, if I lead a team that fails, the team will be disbanded and I will be either fired or demoted. (obviously if there are external factors I/we might be reprieved )

If the CEO leads an aggressive strategy that doesn't playout, they rarely get fired and certainly don't get demoted.
