When you (sarcastically?) said "That's right, CEO needs to focus on those quarterly numbers" it seemed like you were implying that this was someone's argument.
As no one is making this argument, it's rather hard to continue the discussion past that point but I will try. I agree that the CEO can actively seek out new owners that more closely match the CEO's vision, but even then they are working for the existing owners (who must agree to sell) until it is sold, at which point they will be working for the new owners.
