It is the responsibility of the CEO to grow and manage talents. CEO is not like a self-imposed title, it is a work-imposed title, The CEO is like an executor who makes sure that the strategy of the business is implemented on a day to day or quarterly basis. Assessing how a business has performed daily or quarterly is dependent on the efficiency of the CEO.
