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.

Responsibilities

It is the responsibility of the chief executive officer to align the company, internally and externally, with their 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.

  • 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, financial 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.

Why did the former CEO of Countrywide receive a $62 Million severance after causing the company to fail?
Q. Countrywide was the top of the residential mortgage pile as they purchased mortgages from other lenders. As the CEO why did he allow their institution to purchase blatantly bad mortgages from smaller lenders just to look good on paper? Also, why was he rewarded for doing so?

A. He's a criminal. He engaged in unethical practices or so some employees allege. Isn't it obvious who the Republicans support? The democrats would not allow this to happen (real dems).

A. The CEO is almost always the person who runs the company and controls everything. Presidents vary; sometimes they are quite powerful and set policy for the ceo to carry out. Quite often though, it is a prestigious title without a lot of power which may go to an ex CEO being eased out in favour of someone new, but who doesn't deserve to be fired! Or maybe can't be fired if its a family firm.
