Many companies aren’t prepared to replace underperforming CEOs
One of the C-level guys at my current company should have been replaced a while ago. He ruins everything he touches but he's also one of the founders.There are virtually no processes for anything which makes him untouchable. Whenever he fucks up, some PM or low level manager is fired due to their "low performance".Is there anything non C-levels can do about it? Honestly I don't think so, all you can do is avoid the guy as much as possible and assume it's not the kind of company where you want to spend 5+ years.
