What is the difference between a President and a CEO?
Though some companies use President and CEO interchangeably, there are some differences between the two. In corporate management structures, the CEO is the highest-ranking officer and focuses on the future of the company, while the President focuses more on day-to-day management decisions and strategy. The CEO is about long-term vision, while the President keeps the company moving toward that goal.
Who does the President report to?
Even as the leader of the company, the President still has to answer to many people. The President is directly below the CEO and is accountable to them and to the board of directors or executives. In some companies, the President also acts as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) and works closely with the CEO. Presidents are also accountable to the public and stakeholders about the company’s decisions and financial well-being.
What makes a good President job description?
The overview of the job description should be brief, but go into more detail with specific duties and responsibilities a President is expected to manage.
