Top Executives

Top executives develop policies and strategies which ensure that an organization meets its goals. They plan, coordinate and direct operational activities of organizations and companies. These executives translate those policies which are formulated by the board-of-directors, into goals, strategies and objectives, and project a shared-vision of the future.
Every industry, enterprise or organization has top executives, but the extent of their responsibilities is largely determined by the size of the business. For small scale or independently owned enterprises they may also include day to day operations, for large organizations, however, top executives are typically involved only in policy formulation, planning and allocation of resources and overseeing multiple departments. This pathway also covers elected representatives who develop and enact laws and statues at various levels of governance.
Regardless of the nature and scale of business, these are high pressure jobs since the success and failure of the enterprise depends on the decisions made by the top executives.
