    I guess I did have to specify “not all CEOs”.

    You didn’t. 👍

    Nobody gets hired as CEO for “leadership capacity” alone. They also have to demonstrate what they will lead the people to do, and that better be something that will make the shareholders money.

    Many companies with a CEO are companies not on the stock market. Lots of companies are small. In fact, surely the “vast majority” of companies with a CEO are small companies not listed on the stock market?

    So if you choose to exclude those, we aren’t talking about the same thing here. You can’t say “all CEOs” and not include all CEOs.

      Charities in particular can have a CEO, and those can certainly be a lot more diverse. Exceptions aside, I do think it’s true to varying degrees of all CEOs or really anyone with serious wealth.

        or really anyone with serious wealth

        No true Scotsman. Further clarifying that they need serious wealth. Which is far from the “vast majority” of all CEOs in the world.

        I think we reached a consensus here?

          Not really, but close enough.
