CEOs and other high-ranking corporate executives are groomed. for the position by other executives.
In short, it is necessary to have the basic credentials of an undergrad degree and an MBA. You need to have a track record of progressively gaining new and challenging responsibilities within the company. It definately helps if you have a broad knowledge of the company so moving around in different functional areas in leadership roles helps. This is because, as a CEO, you will be responsible for directing the company as a whole...IT, Finance, HR, etc...
Now, lots of people have MBA's. Lots of people have managerial titles and responsibilities in big companies. How do you move up? That is a much bigger question and much more difficult to answer. You certainly must have an understanding of corporate politics and how to play the game. Corporate america is highly competitive. Knowing people higher and getting them to know you helps. If you can find a mentor that is viewed as highly-upwardly-mobile, they can help to pull you up. You don't get promoted unless somebody up above likes you.
Becoming an executive and eventually CEO is different. I believe that you are 'chosen' and groomed for the position. Other executives take notice in you and provide you with exception opportunities and challenges within the company that provide you with increased exposure. If you succeed...everybody knows and then a new challenge is laid out for you. Your sponsoring executive, makes sure you are in the know and helps pull you up.
These are just my observations. There are alot of people that have the same basic credentials, but where those credentials take them can be comepletely different.

Don't stereotype, I live in a gorgeous doublewide mobile in a beautiful park with a pool . My pre-requisites were income, good credit and good references. It is a 50 and over park, so no rotten little half naked brats running around, no pick ups with a hound riding in the back, no loud mufflers allowed, although some of the older residents do have teeth that go in a glass at night. Actually the rules are very strict, more so than in some of the nicer apartment complexes . Trailer parks are cheap to live in if you own your mobile, the lot rent is about 300 a month, can't live cheaper than that, so who's the fool????

It's not what you know, it's who you know.
