Let’s face it; when company policies turn into puzzles, office politics become a sport, and competition feels like a reality show, everyone looks up (or sometimes sideways) at one person: the CEO.
Yes, the Chief Executive Officer the grand architect of visions, missions, and occasionally, confusion. They set the tone, draft the policies, and indirectly inspire everything from innovation to… a little friendly leg-pulling in the break room.
The CEO is like the conductor of a chaotic orchestra. When things go right, the melody is inspiring. When things go wrong, the noise echoes all the way to LinkedIn posts about “toxic culture.” But beneath the suits, strategy decks, and confident smiles, the CEO also carries the weight of every decision that shapes or shakes the company.
Sure, it’s fun to joke that CEOs sit in their glass offices sipping coffee while others hustle below, but the truth is, their choices define the playground. They build the rules, and sometimes, they also create the rivalries that fuel performance.

Moral of the story:
A company dances to the rhythm set at the top. So if the music turns messy, maybe it’s time for the conductor “the CEO ” to tune the instruments, not just the image.
