■What does a CEO do? What should they do? What CEOs should and shouldn't do
Have you ever wondered what CEOs of other companies do? There are many different companies in the world, but there are jobs that only CEOs can do. In this article, we will explain what CEOs do, and what they should and shouldn't do as CEOs.
1. What CEOs do and should do: Set goals
Many CEOs set goals when running their companies. This is because a company can grow by moving in line with the goals set by the CEO. If a company does not have goals, it will be run haphazardly and will quickly go bankrupt. Also, even if you set goals, if the goals do not suit your company, the management plan will fall apart and the company will decline. Setting goals for your own company is a very important job that only the CEO can do. It can be said that a CEO is required to have the ability to set goals that suit the company while considering the company's interests.
2. What the CEO does and should do: Manage and raise funds
Since the CEO is in a position to manage the company, he also manages the company's overall finances and raises funds. The most important thing in running a company is to make a profit, put the company in the black, and maintain it. CEOs around the world must look at the numbers and accurately understand whether their company is running well and performing well. Understanding management figures and data and improving the accuracy of figures is one of the CEO's important jobs. It can be said that CEOs should always be able to make appropriate management decisions by creating accurate accounting documents and making plans for fundraising necessary for management.
3. What the CEO does and should do: Take care of employees
Excellent CEOs around the world actively take care of their employees. In most cases, it is the employees, not the CEO himself, who actually go out to the field and make the company's profits. As a CEO, it is also an important job of the CEO to know and understand the field, make improvements, and create an environment where employees can work comfortably. If the CEO gives irrelevant instructions without knowing the actual situation and environment on the ground, employees will not be able to accept the goals and policies that have been set and will become stressed. And if dissatisfaction with the president accumulates within the company, it may lead to a company that is not trusted by employees, which will lead to a decline in the performance of the entire company. If a company falls into such a state, there will be no benefit to employees, customers, or the company, so be sure to consciously take care of your employees in order to ensure smooth management.
4. What the president should not do: "Tasks" that can be done by others
What the president should not do are tasks that can be done by others other than the president. The job of the president is to make profits so that the company runs smoothly and to create a system that generates profits. While there are many important tasks that only the president can do, if the president takes the time to do tasks that can be done by anyone other than the president, it may hinder the president's work. As mentioned above, it is important for the president to know the field, but this means that it is good to actually do some work to accurately grasp the situation on the field, and does not mean that the president should work on the field. Let's create an environment where the president can concentrate on the work that he should do by leaving the work that can be done by others to employees or outsourcing it to experts.
The president has a lot of advanced tasks to do!
Company presidents around the world have a lot of work to do. If you read this article and realize that there is something you are not able to do as a president, take action immediately. If you do not have the time or capacity, it is important to carve out time for yourself, even if it means hiring a driver or secretary, so that you can focus on the work that only a president can do.
