What is a CEO?

Chief executive officers, or CEOs, hold the highest position in their company. Sometimes, the chairman of the board of directors acts as the CEO if they are particularly involved in the business. Nonprofit organizations often use the title executive director for this position. CEOs are hired by the board of directors, who are elected by shareholders, and usually have a permanent seat on the board to report business strategies and the corporation's vision.

Here are some of a CEO's main duties and responsibilities:

• Setting the company's vision. CEOs guide the direction of their company by setting long-term goals and framing how the company will impact its community. Corporate visions outline what values the company's products offer their market and guide charitable giving, community involvement and what the corporate culture will look like.
  

• Being the main connection between the board of directors and operations. The CEO is the primary person who presents business strategies, results and goals to the board of directors, then works to implement the board of directors' decisions. Because they have a seat on the board and work as an employee of the company, they have a unique insight into how the company relates to its board and the expectations the board has for the organization.
  

• Overseeing the broad scope of business operations. CEOs use their unique relationship with the board of directors and other corporate officers to make and delegate the large-scale business strategies that affect the organization's day-to-day functions.
  

• Acting as the public face of the company. CEOs are the head salesperson for their company and make major announcements about their organization. They meet with high-profile clients and investors, announce new products and share major changes that are being implemented.

What is a president?

The president is the second-in-command of a company, directly underneath the CEO. If a company does not have a CEO, the president holds the highest position in the organization. If the CEO is the head salesperson, the president is the head manager. A company president oversees the people in the company and implements the business strategies that are set by the CEO.

The main responsibilities and duties of the president of a company include:

• Managing the budget and finances. The president uses the business strategies and long-term goals from the CEO to build the company's budget. They make sure that individual departments stay within the budget and manage the finances of the organization.
  

• Implementing the CEO's business strategy. The president uses the CEO's business strategy and goals to structure day-to-day operations. They set goals for each department or division, design new positions and reorganize departments to reflect the CEO and board of directors' vision.
  

• Guiding and leading managers. The president sets the tone for the company's management style. They work closely with department or division managers to help them lead their teams.
  

• Providing recommendations to the board of directors. The president has a closer relationship with the company's employees than the board does and works directly with the operations and logistics, so they provide specific suggestions on how to implement the CEO's business strategy and accomplish the company's vision.
  

• Designing metrics to measure employee performance. The president oversees how employee performance is measured and reported to meet the business goals. They use the CEO's goals and vision to determine what traits and objectives effective, efficient employees should have.
