President : Duties of the president depend on the type of organization. The President of a small
business is the top dog, the head honcho, the biggest wheel of all. Often, he has the combined
title of President/CEO, or may go by the title of CEO instead of president. Small businesses
rarely have both a CEO and a president, as they're just not large enough to warrant that much
executive oversight. The president/CEO is often the owner or founder of the company. It's his
job to listen as much as it is to speak. He hears the viewpoints and reports of the company's
vice presidents or directors, and makes the final decisions or gives his stamp of approval. In a
non-profit organization, the title of president or chair is given to the head of the board of
directors.
