The Myth Of Being A CEO by Faith063: 11:47am On Jul 15, 2020
The Nigerian system portrays a believe that if one is not a business owner/ CEO, then he's nothing. Is it a misconception or the truth
They say:

When you work for someone,
You are told what jobs to do,
How to do them,
When to do them,
Where to do them,
Who are they for, and
Who to do them with.
In all remember you don't have access to the profits of the job,you are only giving what pleases the owner



My views though

The market/client (who might be working for another firm) determines what a business owner does.
A client set a deadline for a CEO to get his job done and the business owner replicate same to his staffs and much more

It only seems the system is rotating, anywhere you find yourself within the system, don't envy others, not everyone can be CEO and if you can, work towards becoming one with all reasonableness
As a worker/staff, be diligent at your work, it all comes with its own gain.

What do you think??

You make sense.

The truth is that, some people will perform better when they're at the subordinate position, while some are better at leadership position.

Everyone should identify their strengths & weaknesses, to know where they will function best.

You as with millions of Nigerians are confusing entrepreneurs/ business owners with CEO. For you to be the Chief executive officer, they must be other executive officers who are in some way major stakeholders not necessarily shareholders. Infact CEO and entrepreneurs are not always mutually inclusive, most CEOs aren't even owners of the business eg MTN Nigeria An entrepreneur can still grow their businesses to become CEOs. Most young girls on IG selling makeup, slippers etc are always calling themselves CEO and I just LOL
