I remember when people first started using CEO as the title over Managing Director or CMD or President. Felt like a downgrade somehow at the time. Like Chief Flunky. Now we know it was an upgrade. From collegial to dictatorial leadership pattern.

NRx is getting what they wish for: “The movement favors a return to older societal constructs and forms of government, including support for monarchism or other forms of strong, centralised leadership such as a "neocameralist CEO"[3]”

I remember my dad was Managing Director of the company he founded. I think Steve Jobs was the one who popularised CEOs? Or was it earlier than that

I say we go back to feudal lord titles like Dominus - would better reflect reality.
