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!

If you have to make a decision which isn’t under your control, or which you need a higher level of approval of, you ask your boss. Your boss also tells you if you need to do something specific this week or whatnot. If they need to make a similar decision or get a similar task, they ask their boss. This continues up the chain until eventually it reaches the CEO. Depending on company structure they often don’t have a boss which means they are principally responsible for making company decisions.
