The CEO is the link between the top functions in an organisation – from the board of directors down through to the management team. His or her decisions resonate throughout the entire business. Hence, the importance of ensuring a strong and effective leadership from your chief executive cannot be stressed enough.
The CEO is the centerpiece that connects the lower, mid and top tier of a business. It falls onto them to execute strategies and operations from a down-up and top-down perspective, comprising everything from boardwork to sales.
