Based on my observations, the most important characteristics of a CEO is to be over 6ft, and to walk about looking important.

CEO jobs are safe until the humanoid robots have mastered this skill.

I'm under 6ft and have never been a CEO, so this appears to check out.

This is not accurate. I've seen CEOs under 6ft wearing platform shoes do a perfectly good job of walking about looking important.

You’d think culture and personality fit with a board of directors would be an easier feat for a robot.

I think either gray hair or bald does a lot too.
