Short excerpt from a YouTube podcast episode in which Cameron Herold asks about day-to-day differences between a CEO and a COO. The respondent contrasts CEO authority over broader decision-making with the COO’s narrower remit and operational responsibilities, noting the CEO manages the wider team and shareholder-level responsibilities while the COO holds specific areas of accountability.

What's different in the day to day for a CEO versus a coo?
You don't necessarily have the whip hand to, say, make all decisions, you know, so whereas, you know, as the CEO, you're managing the wider team to make decisions and all that sort of good stuff. Whereas, you know, I've got a remit of areas of responsibility, whereas in my older role, it was all encompassing across all channels, all responsibilities back to the shareholders.
