Management and Leadership
As CEO, what do you see as your most important function?
As the founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of my company, I am responsible and accountable for everything at the organization. My accountability for everything at the company emanates from the fact that I am the founder and not necessarily because of my position as CEO. As a result, I have several responsibilities and functions that are geared towards ensuring effective operations and productivity of the company. My most important function as CEO is to set company strategy and direction, develop and lead the organization's top management, build organizational culture, and allocate resources to the firm's priorities. These are important responsibilities that I cannot delegate to other stakeholders in the company. I also think that this is the most important function because it helps towards ensuring everything in the company is geared towards realization of established business goals.
What are the most critical factors that influence how you delegate authority to others?
Despite handling some major responsibilities that I cannot delegate, my role as the company's CEO does not imply that I cannot delegate authority to others. However, delegating authority to others requires me to consider several critical factors. The most critical factors that influence such decisions include duties to be delegated as well as the individual's leadership experience, ability to work under pressure, team spirit, and coordinating skills.

First, the management works in collaboration with the staff to identify the specific job tasks that need to be carried out and the necessary resources to perform them. Once these tasks and resources are identified, the management develops a list of organizational priorities based on the information gathered in the previous step. This list of organizational priorities is classified into two categories i.e. short-term and...
