That's what middle management does, your C-suite has an entirely different function.

Fair point — I may have blurred the line between middle management and C-suite. Though if my CEO has been doing middle management all this time, I might have some questions for him. My broader point was that structured decision-making is easier to automate than vision, direction, and taking responsibility for uncertain bets.
