> This is completely backwards. The CEO is not expected to manage intercultural communication. You know whose job that is? The community manager.

Sorry, you're wrong. Intercultural communication is very much a core skill for the CEO of a global organization. They're expected to know how to communicate appropriately so some international deal doesn't get torpedoed due to a faux pas.

> The community manager for Indonesia wouldn't be expected to manage communication with Japan

Right. So on that, we agree.
