Pardon my venting, but what does a CEO actually do?

Ahh, the classic "What do leaders do" question.

A opinion I often hear is, if you can't notice the leader, he/she is a good leader. For example, everyone curses the captain when the ship is going down, but when the ship is sailing smoothly, people don't really think of the captain.

I kind of follow economic news, and my conclusion is, if you are a bad CEO, the columnists would be all over you. But if you are doing a good job, or at least a passable job, you don't really get noticed
