And who is? Look at many major execs and there's a cluster F in the wings. Any of BT's for the last decade, any of the banks forever. Any pharma that has allowed the patent cliff to get as close as it is. The pharma that allowed the talc issue. Any of the oil and gas companies for not reading the room, and car manufacturers that went too late into electric. Those are the mainstays of the corporate world, and yet all of them have had execs that failed, or were seemingly successful because of a following wind. Those 'good' execs probably made hay, and got out, didn't actually achieve a lot more than anyone else could have, and the boards that put them there and selected them are just as bad.
My argument is that there are no good high level exec's just ones that get lucky and have good timing. Elon is possibly an exception.
