Overview

Executive director is commonly the title of the chief executive officer (CEO) of a non-profit organization, government agency or international organization. The title is widely used in North American and European not-for-profit organizations, though in the United States many have adopted the title 'president' or CEO. It generally has the same meaning as CEO or managing director. The title may also be used by a member of a board of directors for a corporation, such as a company, cooperative or nongovernmental organization, who usually holds a managerial position with the corporation. In this context the role is usually contrasted with a non-executive director who usually holds no executive, managerial role with the corporation. There is much national and cultural variation in the exact definition of an executive director.

“Neurotic impostor CEOs are also highly likely to become addicted to consulting companies because reassurances provided by “impartial” outsiders compensate for the executives’ feelings of insecurity.”
— Manfred Kets de Vries. "The Dangers of Feeling Like a Fake," in: Harvard Business Review, September 2005
“Getting every employee's mind into the game is a huge part of what a CEO job is all about. Taking everyone's best ideas and transferring them to others is the secret. There's nothing more important.”
