| | General Managers and Top Executives |
 | | Chief executive officer, president, executive vice president, partner, financial institution president, brokerage office manager, college president, school superintendent, and police chief-all are examples of general managers and top executives who formulate the policies and direct the operations of corporations, nonprofit institutions, and government agencies. |
 | | Although the chief executive officer of a corporation retains overall accountability, a chief operating officer may be delegated the authority to oversee the executives who direct the activities of various departments and are responsible for implementing the organization's policies in these departments on a day-to-day basis. |
 | | Typically the chief executive is also a director of his or her own firm and often chairs the board of directors. |
