No CEO or top level administrator does the actual grind; they set a vision, hire the people they see getting the vision achieved and see to it that the assistants and the boots on the ground have the resources to be successful. Sure there may be some mentoring going on but at some level that stops because the idea is that who you hired knows how to get it done, so get the fuck out of the way and trust the people you hired to get it done.
Elite college head coaches are no different; they don't look at it as a developmental position; put up or go home; next man up!

I disagree with this, why do people think CEO's actually don't work? It's a very demanding job, they just don't sit around and let others do everything.
I don't think CEO's actually do nothing, but they do need to stay out of the way! I'm probably all wet, but here is how I see it based on my life experiences. I kept it pretty generic and tried to relate it to football: CEO (head coach) determines what needs to be done. Middle managers (OC's & DC's) determine how to do it. Supervisors (position coaches) train the employees so they have the necessary skills to be able to do it. Finally, the employees (players) do it!

Okay. My intent was not to say they do nothing; I said that don't do actual grind that a boots on the ground does; yes they may have and probably did before they became a a CEO, but a CEO isn't doing the daily middle mgmt grind, if they are, they are nothing more than a high level (supervisor) and shouldn't be in the position of CEO.
MY experience has been that CEOs function at a much higher level; their work is different and its work that not just anybody can do at a high level.
@psu61 Yeah I definitly took what you said way too litterally 🤣
Most CEO’s are good people but like anything else you get bad apples in a basket sometimes. I’ll make this short and sweet. We had a manager that wanted to fire a guy who’d been with our company 25 years and my manager had to fly to Chicago and go before a committee and explain why he wanted to fire him and the head dude of the committee looked at my manager and said, this guys been here 25 years and you’re just now having problems with him and the meeting ended right there with my manager looking like an idiot lol. This come from my manager that told me this after he left the company he was actually the guy that hired me I was good friends with his nephew and he also became a good friend after he retired he was a butthole while he was working with us but I still liked him anyway lol. I got respect for managers and CEO’s especially after hearing this. Man I’m full I eat enough shrimp for 5 people and then there was the beer 🍺 smh lol
It was a 100 degree today I don’t believe the FD could have took it.ole southern loves the heat 😂
Ya know, I've never quite understood the whole flying executives to corporate home bases. Where I worked, if the upper echelon mgrs got in trouble, they'd fly them to St. Louis, 1st class, put them up in a 4 star hotel for the night, chew their ass the next morning, then send them back home 1st class. lol If they really F'ed up, they'd make them fly out and back on the same day! SMH
