[edit] Clarity
There's a lot of discussion about the quality of the article, but I think the best improvement would be to rewrite it in English, not corporate-speak. I came here to get an idea about what the duties of a CEO are, and I learned they are, in part, to "coordinate external initiatives at a high level." What? That's business-school jargon reminiscent of emails from the corporate office that say a lot, but don't communicate much. I could try to decipher it, I suppose, but I'd rather just have a clear explanation in plain English. Paul M. Parks (talk) 01:51, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
[edit] difference between CEO and president
Here and here are quotable sources and here and here are helpful sources. --Espoo (talk) 18:05, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
- Isn't the term CEO more recent than president? Ottawahitech (talk) 02:18, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Improvement project
I'm working on the improvement of this and related articles, specifically Board of directors and Chairman. Their topics are all interrelated, and involve the top-level governance of organizations. IMHO the articles are or have been pretty weak. One problem is that good sources (as opposed to numerous sources) are hard to find. Another is that relatively few editors have first-hand knowledge of these matters. I have a LOT of first-hand experience with them, mostly in small and mid-sized nonprofits. I'm being bold in my efforts, so I'm sorry if I've unintentionally stepped on anyone's toes. All suggestions, references, etc. are welcome. --Lou Sander (talk) 15:01, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Chief Executive Committee
I deleted this and a similar term, since they are not referenced, are unfamiliar to me (a person with reasonable expertise in the field), and do not appear in the references cited in the article. Their meaning seems to be something more akin to the head of a committee rather than to a single chief executive. Please discuss this further on this page before restoring these terms to the article.
