CEOs having to step down from their companies to get government appointments. Do you see it as right?

[Kross]

In some countries, when a business owner or a CEO gets a government appointment, they have to step down from the leadership of their business and hand it over to someone else. Do you think that rule is good for the growth of a business? Why do they have to step down?

Yes! It is very good because government work demands high level of concentration and attention. Government business can be a herculean task especially when the masses are not enlightened.

You won't have to double government work and business because of diverted interest that might likely occur.

When you say step down, it simply means someone else is assisting them to manage the business right? If it's like this then I don't think it is a bad deal.

They completely step down from the business. That means they hand over the business to another person and can't publicly identify with the business.

They do this for public Service as they have extensive business experience it can bring valuable skills and knowledge to government roles, benefiting the public too
