Ceo Position?
What are some advantages and disadvantages of being in the CEO position? (chapter:8 Q:2)
Being in the position of the Chief Executive Officer shows that people trust you and that you know what your business is about. I think one of the biggest advantages is that you actually have to say something and that you are in a position where employees as well as customers listen to your statements and opinions. Being in this position also retains you certain decision making capabilities that you can use push the company in a certain direction. Maybe one of the disadvantages could be the responsibility that you need to take in this position. This responsibility is very great because the company is now under your hands. Of course some CEO’s have more power than others but in one fact they are all the same.

Besides earning an extremely high salary some CEO’s will also receive numerous of bonuses or access to company stock options. The salaries of CEO’s are among the highest in the company that they lead and are about 10-250 times higher than the average salary in the company.
