Well, in a way you're simply describing the job of the C Suite minus the CEO -- the CFO, CTO, CSO, and so on.
But each of the C Suite members can't spend all their time staying up-to-date and coordinated on everything each other is doing, and they'll also often disagree.
So you need somebody to manage the C Suite, understand and integrate and make decisions... and that's the CEO.
At the end of the day, somebody has to be in charge, or else it's either a) anarchy or b) incredibly inefficient as too much time is taken up in NxN communication and lengthy group debating and decision-making.
And somebody who's capable of managing every C Suite member effectively, whose areas span the entire company... that's going to be an inherently fiendishly difficult and complex job.
