A monarch is the leader of a state. If we remove the "of a state" part from the definition, we just have a fancy sounding synonym for "leader." So in some sense a CEO could be called a monarch if we did that, but so could... whatever, a sports team's coach.

Yeah sort of my point in that it’s a common form of organization. Point being we feel like democracy is the best but nearly every other organization is closer to monarchy. Monarchy’s are extremely effective organizational structures when the monarch is extremely competent.

And an extremely ineffective organizational structure when the leader is incompetent. This is fine in the lower-stakes scenario of a company. For nations, it isn't surprising that the most successful ones have switched to democracy. Peaceful handover of control, representation of diverse interests, and all that.
