I can only speak about some executives I have met in my work life.

Almost all have been clueless, generally useless people with a clear focus on optics above all else. They throw some money at a bunch of stuff, end up with a return, and act like they "worked" for it. Then they give advice about how to "work", as if their return wasn't just a systematic result of having the money first.

Entitled, idiotic people.
