CEO's job is mostly to convince you of how valuable they are. They set strategy and direction. They contribute 0% to the bottom line, so value is hard to measure due to too many variables
Edit: Think about it. Sometimes a CEO's best move is to not mess something up. Other times, the best move is to take drastic measures. It's a rare blend that makes a good CEO for a given situation. I'm not saying Steve Jobs sucked. He was an outlier.
- danielmarkbruce 4y agoSteve Jobs seems to have taken a company worth about 0 to be a company worth hundreds of billion. Some CEOs are valuable.
- fourseventy 4y agoI'm sorry but this is just delusional.
- khazhoux 4y agoIf you believe that a bad manager can sink a project and a bad CEO can sink a company by making the wrong decisions, then you kinda have to accept the flip side too.
- chrismcb 4y agoA bad CEO can kill a company. A good CEO can help make a company huge. Saying they contribute 0% to the bottom line is just wrong.
- metadat 4y agoFollow-up: With fresh eyes today, i disagree with the statement I wrote. I was definitely wrong, my bad.
