Any CEO that keeps that much distance between himself and the company he's
running won't be running it for long, and I wonder how he got there in the
first place. If bad things happen while he's using his unique "hands off"
approach to management, it's quite possible that his negligence is a root
cause of whatever happened.
Either you're missing my point, or we are coming from such completely
different directions that we aren't even talking about the same thing.
Let's tackle this from a much more "base level" question. What is a person
responsible for?
I would answer that they are responsible for themselves, their property, and
any other responsibilities that they freely take on themselves.
