Like I said, a lot of these things are "in theory". But I think it's more important to look at this case-by case and consider the culture of different companies and different lines of work here. Yeah, there's a lot of famously bad CEOs, and yes, there is a problem with corporate culture in America when it comes to executives. But that doesn't discredit the role itself, which is still an important one if you want a company to work. For every terrible CEO, there's bound to be at least another good one - or else the entire corporate world would collapse in short order.
A lot of what I see here is generalization and stereotyping, which doesn't necessarily reflect what the position is supposed to be.
