About CEO

A chief executive officer (CEO) or chief executive is one of the highest-ranking corporate officers (executives) or administrators in charge of total management. An individual selected as president and CEO of a corporation, company, organization, or agency, reports to the board of directors.

It is the responsibility of the chief executive officer to align the company, internally and externally, with his strategic vision. The core duty of a CEO is to facilitate business outside of the company while guiding employees and other executive officers towards a central objective. The size and sector of the company will dictate the secondary responsibilities. A CEO must have a balance of internal and external initiatives to build a sustainable company. [1]

  • For corporations, the CEO primarily coordinates external initiatives at a high level. As there are many other c-level executives (e.g. marketing, information, technical etc.), seldom do corporate CEOs have low-level functions.
  • For emerging entrepreneurs, their acting position as a CEO is much different than that on the corporate level. As often times other c-level executives are not incorporated in small operations, it is the duty of the CEO (and sometimes founder) to assume those positions.
  • Mid-sized companies borrow from corporate and entrepreneurial CEO responsibilities. There will not be all c-level positions available so the CEO must compensate for gaps either through delegating or assuming additional responsibility.
