Precisely because he is the CEO of pretty much a bigger mega-corporation than almost any dystopian novel ever imagined, and which has been around for more centuries than ANY corporation ever, I would assume they learned to delegate by now. If there is an event that he missed and is super-important, I'm sure there are some guys in there whose job is to tell him about it.
Just like, you know, the Pope doesn't have to personally learn kung-fu for self-defense, because he has a whole bunch of guys in pyjamas and with halberds (and MP5's) for that. And he doesn't even have to personally set their shifts and approve their sick days, because he delegates that too.
But there's also something to be said for being that big and responsibility-free: very few things are that important as to NEED immediate attention. He doesn't have to go on stage and shake hands with the CEOs of Microsoft and IBM, like the CEO of, say, Oracle occasionally does, even though both have products competing with his. Because he's basically big enough (and I don't mean in a moral or whatever sense) to not need that kind of alliance games.
And we're talking the kind of responsibility-free where even the pedophilia scandal, or the Magdalene concentration-camp... err... "asylums" thing, or even flaunting the ignoring equality laws because some corporate founder thought otherwise 2000 years ago, barely did a little eroding the market share.
So, yeah, short of Jesus coming down from the heavens during the Easter speech in the Vatican square and saying, "guys, that dude in the funny dress TOTALLY doesn't speak for me", there are very few things that would require him to see them on the news RIGHT NOW. He could literally be in a coma, and even that kind of being unable to respond RIGHT NOW still wouldn't bankrupt his corporation.
So basically, who cares?
THAT SAID, I would also not take everything he says literally. I would expect that, like any CEO, whatever he says has probably been run past some PR guy first. (Even if it may be a guy in a funny dress.) And he wouldn't even be there if he wasn't good at saying whatever he's supposed to say. He was put there by a board of directors... sorry, cardinal council, not won that position at the lottery.
