What does a CEO Exactly do?

864 views

So I work for a large bank in the United States. Me and my coworkers always joke that whenever something bad or inconvenient happens it’s the CEOs fault. Though it’s just a running joke it got me thinking, on a day to day basis what does a CEO actually do? I get the “Chief Executive Officer” nomenclature means they more than likely make executive decisions but what does that look like? Are they at their desk signing papers all day? Death by meeting?

Edit: Holy crap thanks for all the answers I feel like this sub always pulls through when I have a weird question. Thanks guys!

I had a CEO tell us what he does. He told us, our customers do not pay me, they pay you (our company is in the IT Services industry). It is my job to make sure you can do your job efficiently and with great quality.

So, he said, what should I do?

He actually listened and some of the requests were fulfilled.
