We all fall into the trap from time to time where we think a succcessfull businessman would make a good politician. They're good with money, makes sense right? Wrong. You need a stronger sense of duty, responsibility to the public and ethics. Thats not the focus of a for-profit company, by its nature. Thats why military officers actually make good politicians. And we've gotten away from that for some reason. And don't discount career politicians. They're still sxuzzy, but they have better instincts about maintaining govt service. It seems like all the schmucks that are trying to transition into govt from private industry feel like they need t make 'big waves' and fuck around with laws and upend everything to make up for their lack of experience and accomplishments.

A ceo also needs to have the same incorruptible nature as what prevents a rival company from paying a ceo millions of dollars to steer their company into the ground so that the rival company looses competition. The only reason why ceos do not accept bribes is because they are payed so darn well.
