How does the president show his role as chief diplomat and chief executive in a day of his or her life?

I know it’s tempting to make a comment, but I need some help because I need to know what the President can do.

I think they give him briefings and advise him and then he makes decisions, which would be either diplomatic or executive in nature.

Name the most accomplished elected woman Chief Executives of the other democratic nations of the world ? Why ?

Margaret Thatcher gets my nod. She was no-nonsense conservative leader. She must of done something right as she held the office of Prime Minister for 11 years. Quite an accomplishment.

Do you think chief executives are overpaid?

May 19, 2010 - 6:47 am 14 Comments

If so, why?

In the U.S., absolutely. The ratio between what CEOs are being paid and what they pay their employees has become ridiculous. That isn’t anywhere near as true anywhere else in the world. Yes, the CEO is taking on risk that others don’t, and has ultimate responsibility for the company, which others don’t have, but given that when something goes wrong, everyone else seems to get fired before the CEO does, that argument is questionable. And yes, they generally work very hard, but so do many other people in most companies. Certainly they are not putting themselves at physical risk in the same way as may be the case for many of the lower-level employees. And yes, most have a fair amount of education, but come on, I’ll bet in each company there are better-educated people making far less (I have two doctorates, and many CEOs are making 1,000 times my current salary).
