Ha! Good one...
oh wait. You're serious...
How is a ceo needed? They do no work. Their entire job is to rake in cash from workers.
All a ceo needs is a guillotine.
Ok, granted that the CEO concept is not the only way to lead a company.
But you do need a leader, someone who can make decisions for the company, someone to make everyday decisions that are not fun, but needed to make the company work.
We can absolutely argue about their compensation, but thst is another argument alltogether.
Here's a short animated Ted Talk about co-ops without CEO's. Decisions can be decided by the workers, I think there's some disconnect on what you're imagining a CEO is. If you're needing to make decisions everyday for the company to work.... well you're looking at something like Twitter which isn't a stable company in a lot of ways. The video goes on to explain how co-ops operate and perform successfully through the centuries and a good starting point if you haven't been introduced to the business model before.
Managers or "presidents" do exist, but the big difference is their role is to implement the decisions made by the group and does away with the usual power structure that influences and hurts the workers (usually through wage theft like the record bonuses CEO's collect while making decisions for the share holders, not the consumers or employees).
Right.
And a football team doesn't need a quarterback.
🤦🏼♂️
Yes, many of them are assholes, doesn't change the need for the leadership.
ceos are not equivalent to quarterbacks.
the ceo is equivalent of the team owner. he makes the money and not much else.
CEO =/= business owner
i know, but its closer in equivalence
