"Parkinson's Law" is an interesting book on the comedy of being a successful manager. Eg, one rule was don't teach any subordinate all of how to do your job. Delegate different parts to different people so they can't sack/replace you easily.
The higher the position, the less skill that's actually required.
A company like Qantas can easily operate with out a CEO. But let them try and fly planes without a crew.
