I think there may be some legitimate areas of overlap, but yes, very different missions and responsibilities. I think business interests encourage the public to conflate the two.

Nah. Business writ large wants us to believe that government is an inherently evil destructive force producing human suffering on the epic scale.

Not interested in conflation – only elimination.

Overlap indeed: intelligence, collegiality, management skills and that sort of thing. But the goals and motivations, I think, are different. I've worked for both. I don't want to say one is "better" than the other, but they are different.
