CEO stands for Chief Executive Officer, the highest ranking officer in a company or organization. As CEO, it is your responsibility to set long-term business strategies and provide guidance on how to achieve those goals. To be successful, CEOs must balance their time between running day-to-day operations, overseeing financial and tactical performance, cultivating relationships with key stakeholders, and engaging in strategic planning. CEOs are also responsible for creating and communicating a vision that inspires employees and strategically guides the organization. Ultimately, it is the CEO’s job to keep the organization on track by designing and managing systems that prioritize operational excellence and success.
