What does a CEO Exactly do?

822 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!

Everyone mentions CEOs being in constant meetings, so how do things like Elon Musk being CEO of three companies work? Likewise, Crow, the guy who absolutely did not bribe Justice Thomas, was able to take his good friends on week long cruises or retreats out into his private luxury compound. Every description makes this sound like a job that you can maybe take a single day off from, at best, that things break without the CEO at the helm constantly pushing things forward.
