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!

Set the direction for the business, and then make sure that the relevant departments are aligned to that direction, so that everyone knows what’s needed from them, and that everyone has the resources needed to deliver what’s needed from them.
And a lot of managing outside stakeholders to procure the resources everyone needs.
