The Chief Executive Officer is a title, position, and concept that has been an ever-evolving one from the time of its inception. When the position of CEO first started, it was seen more of as a no nonsense, top down sort of leader. He (yes, he…there were no women CEOs back then) was seen as a despotic leader who commanded rather than encouraged.
However, as time went by, the role changed a bit to one who was now seen as an agile leader who was able to motivate, corral, and lead a team of sharp minded individuals. He was an inspiration…but yes, for many years it was still relegated to the “he” department.
