What does a CEO Exactly do?

792 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!

Long story made short: The CEO is responsible for strategy, planning and partnerships.

If you are at the lowest rungs of a large system, the CEO has nothing to do with your day to day gripes other than how they fit into the bigger strategic plan.
