A Day in the Life of a Ceo
CEO: the hottest job of 2008

Have you ever wanted to rule trillions of dollars worth of land and be able to change it with a snap of your fingers????

Being a CEO is the best job because you get an amazing pay of one hundred million. A CEO is a person who rules a whole company it stands for chief executive officer.

Being a CEO has a lot of benefits to being a CEO besides money. Here are some of the pros of being a CEO. One is you get to hire people only who your happy and comfortable with, another is you get a lot of power and command. Also when you make your decision you can see immediate results. Many of the time the CEO will make decisions that will change the world and change your perspective of it. Also you have so much money you don’t know to do with it!! As a CEO you can also brag about how soundly you sleep at night and how much money you make and even what to do with all your mansions and cars, basically you got them bragging rights.

Like many things being a CEO has its bad side, here are some of the substandard things of being a CEO. Having employees can be a gift or a curse, because if you need employees to help you do errands they can be a gift but if they just come complaining for a higher pay or a promotion that can be a curse The other thing is if you make mistake you are blamed for every thing. This job can also be quite stressful because of the economic competition and all those news reporters asking all these weird questions such as “excuse me sir but when the last time was your company had a failing project such as this one”. This would really get to your nerve or tick you off after a long exhausting, fatiguing

    McDonald's has successfully created a brand/name for itself as the leading fast food retailer in the world. It is somewhat of impossibility for one to not come across a McDonald's with over 30,000 local restaurants in over 100 countries (McDonald's, 2011). Those restaurants are owned either by a franchise owner or a corporation; a percentage of all the earnings from a franchise owner, including a percentage from their annual revenue go to McDonald's.…

    The Managerial Odyssey

    After reading this book, I realized that I already use a lot of the things that Focazio focuses on. I decided I would use this assignment to reveal what I do when I’m not being a fulltime student. Since I can remember, I was raised to be a super hero. I was raised in a life where magic wasn’t a myth and extraordinary powers were a common everyday thing. I decided to go through things in the book I liked a lot and relate them to things I’ve learned from becoming the hero that I am today. I’ll begin with Focazio’s first of the three keys to unlock the problem of job dissatisfaction. You have to have fun to become successful. Being a superhero isn’t all the hype it’s made up to be. There is a lot of hard work that goes into training not only your body but also your mind. When I started, my Sifu asked me why I wanted to become a superhero (…it begins with yourself). He also told me that whatever motivates me to become the man I am going to be; I must have positive motivation (When is motivation effective?). He then went further into detail about the motivations I should stay away from. He told me the positive motivations were the ones that got me through life and not just the day (Short-term motivators vs. long-term motivators). I told him my motivation was to defend the good against the bad at all costs. I wanted to lay my life down on the line for those who couldn’t defend themselves against the bullies. I knew what lied ahead of me when I made this decision…well I thought I knew. After my conversation with my Sifu that night, I flew to my favorite spot, at that point-in-time, and meditated about the hardships to come. Even though I knew the times would be hard, I turned them into positive emotions and quickly learned to love what I do and have fun (Don’t YOU be the source of demotivation).…

    Abolishing Slavery In Colonial America

    During the Enlightenment, American colonies and established European countries faced the difficulties of shifting economic system, religious system, and a shift in mindset. The monarchs of the European countries used enlightened ideas in order to advance. Colonization was at its peak and the rise of mercantilism and the price revolution broke its breaks. Due to the shifting economic structure, slaves were utilized as an alternative to paid laborers. This however, was not reasonable from the perspective of the enlightened. They viewed it as unreasonable, selfish, and manipulative. The supporters of slavery argued that slaves were a necessity in the shifting economic structure. Supporters also argued that slavery wasn’t as severe as it was…

    Are Ceo's Overpaid?

    It used to be that the lowest paid employee in the company earned one tenth of the CEO. Now CEOs expect to earn at least 100 times as much as the lowest employee. The average pay of company CEO's was almost 13 million in 2011. CEOs do not produce anything and, if their value were compensated by how well the company did under their leadership, they often would get pay cuts. If every company looks through their top leadership, pay difference is ridiculous. It is the way it is because corporate America rules the country. If you have political connections and/or client connection and you can bring tons of new business then you can be CEO any day. Now if you start your own business - you can be CEO from day one (don't require a special talent) just common business sense. Base salaries of corporate CEO's should be on par with federal job grades just like for other employees. If they bring in all this money solely because of there new million dollar business and make profit out of it. They get a fix cut of it for that year. Paying CEO's 100x, 300x, 500x more money then the rest is basically saying rest of the employees are suckers, looser and bottom feeders. Its a shame.…

    Should CEOs Be on the Board and Should They Have Voting Rights?

    Should CEOs Be on the Board and Should They Have Voting Rights?

    By direction of the board, a foundation’s top executive staff person (titled CEO for this discussion) manages all aspects of the organization. CEOs typically oversee the foundation’s money, time and human resources and act as a liaison between the board and staff. Rather than keeping the CEO in a strictly managerial position, some boards award them a role in governance as well, offering the CEO full membership—and in some cases, voting rights—on the board. CEOs who sit on the board hold a position of great privilege but also great responsibility. With an equal voice at the board table, CEOs can enjoy more stature and influence among board members. Yet, at times, they may feel conflicted between the two roles—caught in a constant balancing act between day-to-day operations and big-picture decision making. In a similar debate, some boards believe the CEO should be on the board to help inform their decisions; others think it gives the CEO too much power. This board briefing will help your board consider three main questions: what are the advantages and limitations of CEOs on boards? If the CEO is on the board, should he or she have full voting rights? How do your colleagues approach this decision? Background The model for CEOs serving on the board started in the corporate world. Most for-profit corporations position their CEO as the chair or president of the board. Foundations that follow this model often call their top executive CEO (as opposed to executive director or foundation manager). Following such corporate practice is atypical for foundations. Survey data in the table below suggests only about 25% of foundation CEOs serve as voting board members and just a small percentage of foundations CEOs are voting board member while also serving as board chair.…

    Delegate Power, or Keep It Close?

    Others offer the opposite advice, saying it's not a good idea for a CEO to "sweat the small stuff" like managing individual client accounts or projects. These experts advise executives to identify everything they can “outsource” to other employees and to delegate as much as possible. By eliminating trivial tasks, executives will be better able to focus their attention on the most important decision making and control aspects of their jobs, which will help the business and also ensure that the top executives maintains control over the functions that really matter.…
