What is the difference of a President vs a COO in a small corporation?

∙ 14y ago
CEO (Chief Executive Officer) - Is charged with managing the executive team and is thus accountable for the successes and failures of the entire company. Everything a company does has to be broken down into manageable tiers or tangents of responsibility. It is the job of the CEO to make sure that the directives of the board are carried out such that the goals of the company and the image of the company are met in a reasonable amount of time.
COO (Chief Operating Officer) - Is charged with maintaining the companies structure and size. Reports to the CEO and has to be involved with all aspects of the CEO's job in order to advise and make decisions that are within the scope of ability or to make changes that will allow the company to reach new thresholds. COO must work closely with the CFO in order to ensure budgets can handle change when making any adjustments within the operation.
Not all companies are large enough to need someone in both roles. Often times a person who is labeled a CEO might do a job that seems a lot more like the job of the COO. Example: a small distribution company with a single location might have a CEO/Owner who's sole function is to ensure that the operations run smoothly day in and day out.
In contrast a multi-location advertising firm needs CEO - COO - Location managers and several other executives to absorb all of the duties and different fields of expertize in order to maintain itself. The COO is in charge of managing the companies locations and the main hub so that all needs are met.
It is the job of the board in larger companies and the owner in smaller companies to decide which of these positions are needed if any at all.
