for the answer say when the hypothetical company started: been for a long time, middle of the road, newcomer/startup.

also if possible, dialouge with other POV’s mine

CEO(self): Alright , CTO and COO make sure all development resources are focused on developing the feature, leave 2 QA’s available so i can get them to test the bugginess of their product, also e need to keep the people who hate the feature so add a off button.

CTO: how do we split the task up?

COO: i deal with higher-ups, you lower ups.

CTO: makes sense

CEO(self): CFO we need to estimate profit forgivingly so we may take less of a hit

CFO: though, we need a few posts and statements to make sure the consumers keep patient

CEO: ok, ok, good. Anything else?

CIO: the competetors have a strike

CEO: we can’t afford a worse strike than them, anyways guess its time to end the emergency meeting.

    First, while everyone thinks the CEO is the boss, they aren’t. They are hired and fired by the Board of Directors. The Board has a strategic objective for the company and has tasked the CEO with making that strategy reality

    Unless the CEO also sits on the board of directors … but at least they won’t be making the decision unilaterally.

      Exactly, and even then the CEO isn’t the final all-powerful boss.

      The person that holds the office of CEO can also be as high as holding the Chairman of the Board role, which would give them incredible power in the organization. However, even then their decisions can be overridden in extreme cases by the rest of the board. I’ll admit that is pretty rare though.
