ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

● Chief Executive Officer (CEO) - A Chief Executive Officer's roles and


responsibilities will vastly vary between companies, industries, and organization
sizes. In general, a CEO may be expected to take on the following tasks:
● Oversee the strategic direction of an organization. Lower-level
managers are often more engaged in the day-to-day operating activities of
a company. A CEO usually synthesizes these results and decides on the
long-term plans of a company.
● Implement changes and proposed plans. After crafting the long-term
vision, a CEO usually looks to themselves and other executive leadership
to begin implementing those plans. Changes are often directly
implemented by operational managers, but it is ultimately up to the CEO to
ensure the long-term plans are being followed through.
● Engage in media obligations and public relations. A CEO is often the
face of the company, and this includes being involved in media relations. A
CEO may speak at conferences, address the public on notable changes to
the company, or participate in community events.
● Interact with other leadership executives. As companies grow more
diverse, it is vital to the success of a company to have a suite of
executives that a CEO can rely on. Instead of directly overseeing every
aspect of a company, a CEO often relies on other leaders to manage their
own realm, then engages with them to get a high-level understanding of
how things are going.
● Maintain accountability with the board. A Board of Directors oversees
the entire company's performance and holds a CEO accountable. A CEO
often reports to the board, delivers updates on strategic plans, and gets
feedback from the board regarding the overall direction of the company.
● Monitor company performance. A CEO is ultimately responsible for the
financial performance of a company. A CEO may rely on financial or
non-financial metrics to track how things are going. They usually make
reporting requests from their direct employees to get a quick sense of how
each area in the company is performing and what strategic maneuvers
should be taken.
● Setting precedence for the working culture and environment. A CEO
is responsible for setting the tone at the top and creating the work
environment they believe is best to drive success. Employees working
under a CEO often look to the executive to create and maintain the culture
of the organization.
