That fact that things were going into meltdown means the upper management
wasn't getting the job done. If nothing else, the CEO needs to see
why things are not working so they can implement the sort of changes necessary so it doesn't happen again.
Why even have a CEO if he's going to go completely hand-off when things go south?
Would you want a president or Prime Minister who - when the country was in crisis - went on vacation and told his higher ups to just "handle it"?
