Honestly based on my experience , the Biggest mistake leadership does is not get properly informed, they jump in because as you said FOMO , and end up fighting against their engineering team because what they signed up for doesn't align with the situation.
Indeed, have seen a lot of cases like that and it's very unfortunate. Also it seems that CEOs vibe coding a website and telling engineers how easy it is to do it, is becoming quite a common thing. That's why my main advice to engineering leaders is to build their credibility and be confident when they manage those unrealistic expectations.
On point ! The part of vibe coding for me comes off as disrespectful to be honest ! It signals you don't have much trust in your team and you go as far as "Proving it is easy" on the one hand. On the other hand it signals deep lack of technical knowledge of how the team works and what kind of solutions are actually doable.

The lines between roles are fading fast, and those who adapt quickly will lead the way.
Right, engineering roles will be blurred more and more as time goes on.
