Want to be a CEO, a strong chin helps! (work, companies, bill)

[questioner2]

It seems like most of the CEO's I meet have a certain look. Now I finally know what it is, see below:

How CEOs Lead with Their Chins

A strong chin, that Hollywood staple, may also be a plus for aspiring CEOs. That's the conclusion of New York plastic surgeon Darrick Antell, who presented his highly anecdotal evidence at the recent 2007 World Congress on Liposuction Surgery and Advances in Cosmetic Surgery in Dubai. Antell drew a line from the nose tip to the chin on photos of 42 CEOs from 2005's top 50 Fortune 500 companies. Some 90% (including Carly Fiorina, then Hewlett-Packard's (HPQ) CEO) showed nonreceding-to-prominent chins, vs. 40% of the U.S. population. People equate such jawlines with confidence and character, says Antell, who performed 20 chin augmentations in 2007. (Topping out at $7,500, the surgery's a bargain compared with, say, a $92,000 MBA from Harvard.) Some dynamos have "deficient" chins, Antell admits. But most are entrepreneurs. When it's time to pick a top manager, the one with the Superman jaw gets the job.

Makes you wonder, when people choose people based on something that has nothing to do with the requirements.
It's like choosing them for something in their genes, but it doesn't reflect their mental capabilities at all.
Strange world we live in. Next, they will choose the guy with the biggest feet.

I see a strange logic to this, here is why:

Men with strong features including a chin, usually are viewed by others as stronger personalities. If you look like a nerd with a weak chin you could become a CEO (like Bill Gates) but you have to work twice as hard to be respected. People who do not look the part of the role usually were treated like nerds when they were younger and would have a harder time acting like they should be treated seriously, because of years of negative reinforcement in the past.

To be an effective CEO, you likely had many people challenge you mentally and psychologically through the years. If you look the part and have a aura of stature, you are already half way.
