If you're a competent CEO, don't expect to be a CEO for very long...what a time to be alive.

CEOs are supposed to be there for the long haul and drive real vision for the product. They're not supposed to be emergency stopgaps parachuted in to calm everyone's tempers because the last guy screwed up one too many times.
If you aren't just about making money in the early days, you're not going to be CEO very long either. The key is figuring out when your company is big enough that you need to pay attention to things other than making money, or at least good enough as signaling/feigning that you care about things other than making money.
