What is the difference between a C.E.O, a Chairman and a President of a company?
Certain corporate titles are given more for honor then out of any difference in job function. For example, the COO title is often given to a manager who really only runs a certain division of a company but is set to be in line to be the CEO. The titles “President” and “Vice President” are given in the same way. CEO or Chief Executive Officer – is the job of having the ultimate executive responsibility or authority within an organization or corporation. Chairman is the presiding officer of the Board of Directors of a Company. President is a title held by many leaders of organizations, companies, universities, and countries. Etymologically, a “president” is one who presides, who sits in leadership (from Latin prae- “before” + sedere “to sit”). Originally, the term usually referred to the presiding officer of a ceremony or meeting (i.e. chairman); but today it most commonly refers to an official with executive powers.
