 The Theory of Organisations and the CEOJacques Rojot Chapter 39 in Handbook of Top Management Teams, 2010, pp 357-361 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract Organisational behaviour, which is close to organisation theory, may appear to offer us a first lead for reflecting on the CEO, with the analysis of leadership. In fact, it clearly tends to place the person who decides and directs at centre stage, as the leading player. Yet we must observe that leadership does not exclusively concern CEOs, but offers a much more general framework. Every manager, hence by definition every member of the organisation who is directing and managing others, at any level whatsoever in the structure, must display some leadership qualities to perform his role successfully. The executive presents a different case. Membership of the Executive Committee of a large organisation raises unique problems which cannot be solved or limited either to the role of the manager, or to leadership. In other words, not all managers have the calling, or the capacity, to become senior executives. We can safely declare that leadership is one of the many conditions that are necessary, but not sufficient, for being a senior executive. Hence we shall abandon this first lead.
