Only in the same sense that bottom-level employees are the CEO's superior. Which is to say, they aren't.

Formal structure can stabilize a system and make it resilient to shocks. But there's a limit to how much stability can be provided, and if you provide enough shock, the structure will change.

Doesn't nearly every company have a democratic process for choosing CEOs? Just that the voters are only the board members.

There's an important difference. Bottom-level employees don't get to choose the CEO at most companies.
