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!

They make decisions on which direction the company should go. Do we hire more people for area XYZ, or do a layoff this year? Do we give more people to engineering, or to HR, or a bit of both?
They are also the face of the company externally and internally; if you think of *one* person who works for that company, it’s usually them.
