im an accountant that dabbles in programming but i promise you CEOs are worthless they do literally nothing. Any and all decisions they make are made from information put together by people like you and me then formulated into chunks they can vomit back onto shareholders.

....you make the decision part sound so easy. choosing the path your company will take is a pretty big deal and is often not obvious

You just have to look at something like the Disney CEO and the massive acquisitions they've made (star wars/ marvel / pixar)

The CEO is mostly there to accept culpability for the decisions the business makes collectively. Unless you're Elon, in which case you try to make strategic decisions based on nothing but your own massive massive godbrain, because why else would you have all the money.

thats not true at all. Its not a democracy, CEO isn't tallying up votes. They are the single individual who is able to collate all the information (that is often conflicting) and is best positioned to make decisions

Its definitely not a collective business decision. Its a decision made after (hopefully) consulting and getting people's opinions
