I guess I don't lump all C-level (ceo, cfo, coo ect) in one basket.
I have worked for some that were deplorable. They didn't know how to lead. I see this as a role similar to a coach. They are to inspire and figure out how to get the best from people. The best, not only for profits but for self pride of their staff.
I work for a man now that will make you want to run through walls for him. He challenges you to be better. Plus he won't ask anything of you, that he has not already done. He's awesome to work with.
Too many young folks are afraid of hard manual work. They all want the title without the effort of "getting there".
One of the wealthiest men I know doesn't have a college degree or a fancy title. He's in construction and will take almost any job. New construction or remodel. He works very hard and is strong like an ox. There is no telling how many millions he is worth. I'm proud to say that my son has worked for him several summers. ( not Ocho, he's only 13, but he does earn money as a soccer ref).
Don't hate all execs. All of them aren't bad.
However, I do think the ground breaking ceremony is silly. Typically it's all for publicity.
