In that case we should see companies that have the 10x CEO and 900 more employees doing well.

The best ceos will work at the highest paying firms. This does not mean that this is the most efficient arrangement in aggregate or for an individual company. How often have we seen claims that lowly engineers are overpaid?

Is it though, or is it the best CEOs at marketing themselves work at the best firms? The idea is that you're sort being Skinner boxed since each CEO and company is different and it changes with time too.

Is the number of people who can be good CEOs close to the number of CEOs needed? If not, it should be possible to get more CEOs.

By anecdotal evidence - we have no good mechanism to evaluate a ceo. Nor do we have a good mechanism to discover ceos looking for employment.

An inefficient market breeds corruption.
