Couldn't most corporations be more effectively run by a group of mid-level managers (people who have actually worked for a living and understand the company and how it runs) and probably be more profitable than giving huge sums to some CEO who has never done any actual work in his life?

Are there some CEO's who came up through the business and know it inside and out? Probably....but not many anymore.

I think it's time for some of these guys to learn to throw themselves at the ground and miss.
