For every visionary leader of the caliber you describe, there are many average joes who manage to climb the corporate ladder on vapor talent and run companies like these. I spent 30 years working for IBM and saw business after business destroyed from within by exactly these types of impostors. Some of them are worse than average joes, in the sense that they have huge egos and no real talent to back that up. They are worse than average joes in the sense that they set sail on the wrong course and don't take corrective advice until it's too late. Okay, we get it. Corporations bad. CEOs bad. Unions good. Overpaid laborers bringing down big corporations? Good. Democrats good. Republicans bad. Welfare good. Rugged Individualism bad. George Bush bad. Clinton & Obama good. United States bad. Communist Russia: Good. Terrorists: Good, freedom fighters. I think that about covers it.
