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!

In simple terms, a CEO doesn’t do work, he just makes important decisions.
He doesn’t need to fill excel sheets with company data. He’s got people for that.
The CEO just decides the companies next steps and future work. He has people that calculate for him how much a new factory in Vietnam will cost and he decides if the company will open a factory there or if producing local will be better in the future
