Really disagree with this - a lot of process-oriented checklist-following managers are actually terrible leaders. You don’t need to be particularly skilled to do that. As a CEO you can bring a lot more to the table than that, and delegate it if you need to - it’s not an uncommon skill - to focus on adding value by setting direction, fighting fires, focusing on whatever is currently the most important problem or project.
Obviously you can start your own company to reset the hierarchy according to your wishes. That doesn’t mean this CEO is unqualified though.

I didn't say they were unqualified. I said, "the founder doesn't have the qualifications or characteristics that the underlings assume they need to be in a leadership position."
