By that evaluation I posted a few posts earlier, that person thinks it's [also]attributable to anti-social psychopath ability. It seems to me that politics and that sort go together well these days.

Now I don't believe for a second that all CEOs are mental. At the same time, the position of CEO is not unlike any other position that someone sets their sights on. A surgeon fits perfectly here. Becoming a surgeon is a lofty goal. But if my son came to me and said he wanted to become a surgeon when he grows up, I certainly would not tell him, "Well, surgeons are special." No, I would tell them that with hard work and perserverance and not getting run over by a truck(dumb luck) during all the education and training, then yes, becoming a surgeon is achievable, there's nothing special per se about being a surgeon.
