And that is also true, however, as a CEO you are paid for mostly 3 things:
company steering
company vision
accountability
If a CEO fails the accountability part… Why is he even being paid? I had a discussion over the years about managers that don’t take responsibility if someone on their team messed up and throw under the bus whoever did the thing wrong. If I was in a position of power, I am sure I would fire the manager on the spot. It is literally part of your function to take responsibility in a collective level
human beings don’t like direct/personal accountability, and will pay lots of money to avoid it.
easiest way to do this is to blame a third party for ‘forcing’ you to do things.
people do it all the time in their personal lives too. the sales person ‘forced’ them to buy something, etc.

accountability is to the shareholders. not the employees.
