I've met countless Juliuses over the years. I kept track of the companies, and the Juliuses. My biggest revelation is that every company that was being in some substantial capacity led by a Julius (either at C level, VP, or high up in management) ended up one of two ways:

1. Shut down or shutting down (e.g. team reduced by > 50% since I've been there)

2. Julius removed, endlessly seeking work, keeps getting fired, and can't find a place to call home

The meteoric rise of the Julius is an exception - sooner or later their lucky streak ends and they face the cliff of adversity, towering above them with no way to climb it - no skills to help him actually do it.
