How important is the CEO to a company in your opinion? Make or break? Or are they merely a figure head?

Make or break in my opinion as they set direction for the exec team which has a cascading effect through the org. I think Satya Nadella is a good example - $1 Trillion dollars in market cap ever since he started :)

Agree 100%

Yeah def make or break, this person sets the foundation for the company and its culture

I’ve seen many start-ups in my area fail or remain stagnant because of a lack of vision and directive from the CEO. Leadership from the top trickles down to the culture of the company, most times subconsciously. I certainly agree that the CEO will make or break a company.

CEO is important in setting the overall direction of the company. Management is there to implement that direction into reality. It does depend on the company, though.

This may be an unpopular opinion.

But I think it's kinda shitty that when FAANG people get laid off, everyone feels bad for them and they get so many resources to get rehired, but the same is not true for people that get laid off at smaller lesser known organizations.

Like those FAANG people will be fine, they got generous severance packages. The people who actually need help often get overlooked or are forgotten.
