      The greatest person who has a say in a business is the major shareholder. What I mean by a major shareholder is, perhaps, someone with at least 51% share in the business/company.
      This major shareholder has all the authority to duly fire a ceo.
      Suppose there is no shareholder who owns at least 51% of the business’s/company’s shares, then a majority vote could have the ceo fired.
      Read up on how Steve Jobs, the Founder of Apple, got fired from his own company.

    Well said but most of us in Africa as founders want to run things in the business we founded as CEO or in an autocratic way. To become an employee in the company we founded? That's like taboo 🤣🤣🤣 the employees won't have it too. Its a cultural thing but not good for running a business in this day and age.

      Not really, I've been with a few startups and ill say a large majority would prefer stepping down, having someone else make the shots whilst they continue doing what they love but problem is to find a good CEO.
      A CEO with experience which you can poach will only be there for the money and for most startups it's passion driven rather than profit. If it's a decent startup it generally is highly technical to beable to build a company off so most people who you can poach won't have the technical skills to understand what is going on and end up running it to the ground.

    He seems to reference supporting literature for this? I think he needs to do more than just say that and show it, if this is really a proven fact, because recent historical trends has been the opposite.
    Take big tech. Meta, Mark is the founder and CEO. Steve jobs was kicked out just for some CEO. to come and fuck up. Google founders held firm against VCs to have a CEO placed in.
    In fact, tech is proving the opposite of what this guy is saying. Founders ought to be the CEO and it’s increasingly proving to be the effective path to creating extremely valuable companies. It’s often why a company’s stock price decreases when the founder is no longer operating the company.
