I think that the best definition of a good CEO is that the company they run performs well (relative competitors, market).
Of course, now the question shifts to how exactly do you define good performance. But in the end, that is all that matters.
- tensor 9y agoHow do you know how much they "run" the company? Perhaps they have another exec who effectively runs the company, or perhaps there are a committee of execs that run the company.
- dilemma 9y agoIt doesn't matter. If the CEO sets up a committee to do his job for him, and get good results from it, then they are doing a good job. The Chief Executive is responsible for performance, not for working long hours or making technically brilliant plans.
