What do Chief Executive Officers do?

Dubbed as a prestigious position, chief executive officers are seen as the head of the company and are expected to make difficult decisions that will impact their business. Chief executive officers communicate with their team on a regular basis to increase the efficiency of the company and make sure that all sectors are running as smooth as possible. They identify complex problems within the company and create solutions to them through collaboration with their coworkers, analyzing company records, or changing their policies.
