Just as the conductor doesn't play every instrument, a CEO is not the sum of sales, IT, operations, etc.
In an orchestra, the conductor doesn't play every instrument but guides the musicians to create a harmonious symphony. In a company, a CEO doesn't personally handle each function of the company, rather he oversees and guides the various teams.
A company is indeed a sum of its parts - marketing, sales, technology, and more. However, the CEO's job is not merely a summary of these functions, but rather the leadership that includes visions and strategies to steer these components toward a direction. It's about seeing the big picture and making sure all the pieces fit together in a way that drives success. A CEO's job is not addition or summing up - it's multiplication and exponentialization.
