The Chief executive officer (CEO) is a senior official of the company. The main functions of the CEO are that he or she determines the general strategy of the enterprise, makes decisions at the highest level, performs representative duties [1]. CEO is the highest executive position in the company. He or she has general obligations for planning, organizing, creating, implementing, and integrating the overall strategy of the organization [2]. Moreover, this means that it depends on his work whether the company will fall apart, or will flourish in the future.

The main message that they wanted to convey to the world was that only the CEO can extract the necessary information from the outside world in such a way that this data would benefit the internal environment of the organization. Also, only a professional CEO can, in times of crisis, pandemic, and other instabilities in the market, find new opportunities in the market, and not threats.
