Your description is basically of a "spherical CEO in a vacuum", ie. the ideal and abstract version of how corporations should operate. It has very little to do with reality

    Well, I can only write from my own experience. I've worked for several major campaigns in my life. In banks, in telecom operators. And it's almost always been like this. And where there was none, the campaign collapsed. Not in a moment, of course, because campaigns, like people, do not die instantly, but age and degrade. But as a result, it was.

    When you say campaign are you meaning company?

    Have you worked with very many CEOs at SMEs? Based on my experience it seems to match the description, by and large.

    I've been a C-suite executive, and I've worked with executives (incl. CEOs) at public companies.

    Not only is there often a thermocline of truth that stops "bad" information going up the chain, CEOs more often than not make decisions based on nothing but their own opinions, and they will more than happily discard any information that doesn't already fit that opinion, and even if negative things do manage to reach them from the other side of the thermocline, they often discount it or explain it away
