re: How did most C-Suite Execs get to that position?

Be careful what you wish for. Managing adults is a strain.
Most mid level managers that are older and not great leaders typically got there by seniority, not because they are great at what they do. Default type promotion and they are ‘good guys’ that don’t stir shite up and get along with everyone. They typically camp out with a fat salary until retirement. Most good companies don’t promote them any further.
As an executive leader, I somewhat envy them. Plan on stepping back when I’m ready to retire into one of the gravy train, non critical department, manager positions.
