Chief Executive Officer
I have always wanted to be the CEO of a large company. A chief executive officer is the highest ranked officer of the business. The only person he or she has to report to is the board of directors. The CEO has to be a great communicator and has to be an awesome people person. Everything he or she does is on the higher level of the business world. After reading this article, my mind has been changed a little because of what people think about the CEO of a company.
CEO’s are the highest paid workers of the company. This article is a complaint about how high the CEO’s salaries can get up to. The main lady in this article says, “the gap is too big between the worker and the CEO” They conduct a survey every year on the pay gap between CEO and common worker. The incentive for them to work hard is rewarded by earning shares in the company they helped build. They state that “if the pay for an average production worker had increased at the same rate as the CEO pay during the 1990s, the average worker would make $110,399 and the minimum wage would be $22.08.” This would make the world a little bit different place today. The CEO Pay Targeted article was a very good and truthful article.
Martin Olav Slavo has tried to narrow the income gap for years. I would have to say I disagree with the pay. I think it is a little on the high side, but since I’ve never been a CEO, I don’t really know the stress level of the job. One of my favorite Bible verses explains how leaders are supposed to be. "A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach. Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well."(1 Timothy 3:2) This verse really explains how a CEO or a leader of a company should do his job. I agree with the article because CEO’s get paid too much for the little work that they do. God will provide in some form, way, or
