A chief executive officer (CEO) is the highest-ranking corporate officer (executive) or administrator in charge of total management of an organization. An individual appointed as a CEO of a corporation, company, organization, or agency typically reports to the board of directors. In British English, terms often used as synonyms for CEO are managing director (MD) and chief executive (CE). In American English, the title executive director (ED) is sometimes used for non-profit organizations.
The responsibilities of an organization's CEO (chief executive officer, US) or MD (managing director, UK) are set by the organization's board of directors or other authority, depending on the organization's legal structure. They can be far-reaching or quite limited and are typically enshrined in a formal delegation of authority.Responsibilities
Typically, the CEO/MD has responsibilities as a director, decision maker, leader, manager and executor. The communicator role can involve the press and the rest of the outside world, as well as the organization's management and employees; the decision-making role involves high-level decisions about policy and strategy. As a leader of the company, the CEO/MD advises the board of directors, motivates employees, and drives change within the organization. As a manager, the CEO/MD presides over the organization's day-to-day operations.
Characteristics
According to a study by Carola Frydman of MIT, from 1936 to the early 2000s there has been a rapid increase in the share of MBA graduates acting as CEOs; from approximately 10% of CEOs in 1960 to more than 50% by the end of the century. Earlier in the century, top executives were more likely to have obtained technical degrees in science and engineering or law degrees.
So...James Allen has NO MBA or Masters in general, or Bachelors in Business at the very least, no board of directors, or any major decisions to make. He is the only person that exists in his 'company' unless you count his cats ('staff') or Elisabeth Botelho. There is no real 'CEO' going on here, not in the normal meaning unless our very special Mr. Allen has his own definition. One person does not a corporation make. He has no products, no services or offices to represent his grand company. Soon we will explore the concept of a 'LLC' in contexts to Mr. Allen's and see where that stands. It really doesn't take much work to deny him these claims, no lengthy texts or endless sources. The straightforward definitions stand up to comparison to him and leave little room for interpretation. We suggest that you, the reader of this blog, do research of your own, go to his many websites and see for yourself, it won't take much. Keep in mind that not everything is what or who it appears online, and that is something that Jimmy depends on...another question is: if James Allen had his 'company' and everything in its early stages in 1991 then why he did he not get his Bachelors in Business or Marketing when he went to Southeastern many, many years later? A Bachelors in Clinical Psychology has absolutely NO bearing on his supposed profession and expertise...
