No CEO of a publicly traded company has unfettered power (like you seem to imply). They answer to their board and to the shareholders.
I won't bother listing all of the authority and responsibility that a Premier has that an executive of a private sector corporation doesn't have.
In any event, if you are suggesting that Premier isn't one of the most demanding, powerful, and important jobs in the province, I find that suggestion preposterous.
