At what point is a person considered an "executive" at a company?
Every company has a different hierarchical structure and this varies. Hard to generalize. Startups tend to be flat organizations than bigger companies. Most direct reports to CEOs are considered executives. Some direct reports to a layer below could be considered as company execs too (e.g CROs and EVPs typically have exec level reports). Not all execs have revenue bearing responsibilities (e.g. CTO, VP Engineering, VP HR etc.). A director level at a bigger company may be at the same carer level as a E/VP at a smaller startup. It varies. Adam's statement (VP or higher are execs) is the closest generalization one can make in the tech world. NOTE: My understanding is that in banking industry, manager career levels could be called VP because it facilitates the work they do, is client facing etc.
Homeowner insurance with Discount for police officer ?
USAA provides insurance for military personnel, retirees and their families. According to their website the following are eligible: * Children of USAA members. * Active-duty officers and enlisted personnel. * National Guard and Selected Reserve officers and enlisted personnel. * Officer candidates in commissioning programs (Academy, ROTC, OCS/OTS). * Former military personnel: o Retired officers and enlisted personnel. o Former officers and enlisted personnel who separated on or after 01/01/1996. I don't see that police officers are eligible, unless they are retired military. It's a shame, really, because USAA is a terrific company with great rates, great coverage and great service. I don't know of any other company that gives a discount to police officers. Sorry! Good luck!
Can a person who is full time employee of one company, be a full time director of another company in India?
Amit,Nice question. This brings me the concept of building your company while you are working for someone as employeeAnswer is here given by Saurabh ToshniwalYes, it is possible. A person can be director in one company and employee in other company. There is no provision in Companies Act, 2013 that prohibits the same.There are many people who are in employment elsewhere and become director in their own company. So that is possible, unless the company where he/she is doing job objects on the same.However, where the person is not the owner of the company, in such cases, it is very rare that a person who is in employment elsewhere will be appointed as Director, except in following situation -The person gets appointed by virtue of majority shareholding.The person is rich in goodwill and his goodwill is useful for the company.The person is an independent director.The person is a sleeping director / Non - executive director.There can be many more similar examples.I have seen a lot of practical cases and it is totally possible and legal as well.

What is the difference between executive and non-executive chairman?
The Executive Chairman is not the CEO.The Executive Chairman is the Chairman of the Board, and the Executive Chairman has operational responsibilities. Typically, one of the main responsibilities of an Executive Chairman is actively coaching and guiding the CEO.The Executive Chairman may participate in staff meetings and other operational meetings. The CEO and Executive Chairman might use a “divide and conquer” approach where they divide up the CEO responsibilities between the two of them.A non-executive chairman has no operational responsibilities and only has board responsibilities. An Executive Chairman still has board responsibilities AND has operational responsibilities as well.
Which position is higher in any company: CEO, president or chairman?
Higher, hmm. Setting aside the situations where one person holds two or all three of those positions:- On an organization chart, the Chairman is higher than the CEO, and the CEO is higher than the President. This order represents the relative authority that the Chairman has (with the concurrence of the board he or she leads) to hire and fire the CEO, and that the CEO likewise has over the President. Also, on a day-to-day basis, the Chairman can make requests of the CEO (almost, but not quite giving orders), and the CEO can direct the activity of the President.- On a pay scale, the CEO would be higher than the President, who would, in most cases, be higher than the Chairman. This reflects the fact that most of the executive authority and responsibility for the management of the company is concentrated in the hands of the CEO, who, in turn, delegates a significant portion of that authority to the President. The Chairman's management authority is generally limited to the board and its functions. Even with regards to the board, the CEO often has significant input, and sometimes a effective veto.
What is the difference in responsibilities between a CEO, president, and chairman?
Chairman and CEO are two different roles.Traditionally, the Chairman of the Board is the senior person on the company's board of directors, which is the group that legally has the final word on what the company does. The Chairman is elected by the other members of the board, and usually is neither an employee of the company, nor works full-time on company business. The board as a whole (but not the Chairman individually) is responsible for the company's overall strategy and major strategic decisions, as well as hiring (and firing) the CEO. The Chairman of the board will typically serve ex-officio on all board committees (including the executive committee), run all board meetings, and consult frequently with the CEO. While the Chairman has the same vote as any other director, there is often an implied seniority and gravitas to the Chairman's role.The CEO is the Chief Executive Officer of the company. He or she is the highest ranking full-time employee of the company, to whom all other employees ultimately report. The CEO, in turn, reports directly to the full Board of Directors. In most cases, the CEO prepares the company's operating plan and projected budget with the guidance of the board, which is then presented to the board for approval. Similarly, the CEO handles all hiring and firing, and proposed employee option grants (which are then ratified by the board.)The one exception to this structure is in the case of an Executive Chairman, which is a full-time, compensated, operating, employee role that directly manages the CEO (although depending on the particular company and people involved, both might instead directly report to the Board.)Because all power in a company ultimately stems from the Board of Directors, which represents the interests of all shareholders, the Board determines just how much power it delegates to the Chairman and the CEO. So for a Chairman to "get more power", he/she needs to have sway over the other members of the board, either technically (because the Chairman has the right to appoint them) or unofficially (because the other members will take "sides" with the Chairman in the case of conflicts with the CEO.)But from the subtext in the original question, I would caution that having a company where the Chairman and CEO are odds with each other is a toxic situation, of which no good can ever come. Much better for the party with the weaker hand to move on to another organization.
