That is a good point. It seems like there is clearly also some kind of factor in the size of the organization itself. As an example: If I form Mike's Burgers as a potential new chain and I incorporate it when I have one store, it is entirely possible for me to simultaneously be both a store manager, and a company executive of the corporation, whereas the CEO of a bigger chain might have thousands of stores and so doesn't individually manage any of them. Am I correct that when most people think of CEO's, they are thinking of CEO's who are not also working substantially at another job such as store manager (or programmer, given some software startups?)
My post was about execs in large companies. I have edited it to make that clearer. Certainly things can be different in small companies, particularly startups.
