You may believe this, but I know from firsthand experience that is very common misperception, pushed for any number of reasons.
First off, there aren't PLENTY of good CEO's doing the job. Fact of the matter is, you may be capable of doing the job, but it's going to take you years to develop all the skills and experience for the job - it has nothing to do with being a genius. We are not talking "learn from your experience" and "pick things up as you go". These jobs are far more serious and complex than that. Leading an entire company is a huge leap from supervising 4-5 guys in your crew.
20 years from now that line supervisor might be ready to be CEO....AFTER climbing the ranks all the way to Sr. VP and accumulating years of experience. But today, as a line supervisor, he or she is wholly incapable of leading that company.
