ok so what do CEOs do? hell, what does my manager do? other than calendars full of meetings, I don't know what any manager does. as a technical person my entire career, the only things that my managers have ever done is to have regular meetings where we talk about non-work stuff, or they tell me that I am in trouble and/or fired. the only thing that I know that they actually do is make technical decisions based on non-technical criteria, which makes for a very bad decision, in my experience. I worked for a lawyer once who hired me to make technical decisions, and then made them himself anyway. "why are we spending so much money on rewriteable CD's?" well, you made an executive call and mandated that we archive documents to CD using uncompressed TIFF. so we get about 10 pages per disc. I told you not to do that but you said you knew what you were doing. then it becomes my problem to fix while the lawyer screws off to some foreign beach.
