Forget about the skills you need to become a better CTO, I think the headline here is how to successfully stroke the ego of your interviewer.

There could have certainly been some of that but it didn't feel like it in the context (which I realize I didn't provide). I read the question as sincere but admit there's a chance it wasn't.

At any rate, I tried to answer him honestly with what I'd have told myself and it didn't have any bearing on the outcome one way or another.

Nothing about leading a team? Most certainly a requirement for CTO.

Sorry I meant to lump that in under the soft skills section. It was not meant to be an exhaustive list, there would be far more than 5 items :-)
