1. Literally, the CEO is the CEO of a company or group, the representative of the boss and the board of directors of the company or group, and the representative of the employees of the company. Attention is two-way; The president generally refers to the leader of the company's administrative affairs.
2. In terms of institutional setup, there is generally only one CEO, and there may be multiple presidents. At the same time, the CEO is the leader of administrative affairs and concurrently serves as a director of the board of directors. Simply put, the CEO is the president and the director, so the CEO actually has the right to speak on the board of directors, but the president may not have it!
3. From the perspective of rights, because the CEO is the president and director, he has greater decision-making power, and the president generally only acts as the executive layer (top).
In fact, in China's current corporate governance and organizational structure, there is no great distinction between CEO and CEO, and their titles are confusing. The president, general manager, chairman and CEO are all clamoring, which is actually different from the system. In addition, due to the tradition of rule by man in China, many so-called general managers may have great power due to historical and relational reasons. But some so-called nominal CEOs have no decision-making power, which makes everyone confused between CEO and president.
In a word, CEO is the product of the development and integration of the board system and the professional manager system, and should play a huge role.
