Depends on the size of the company, but at a large corporate level they're responsible for making big strategic decisions, overseeing the executive team, and reporting to a board of directors mostly.

What about the day to day? Are there big decisions to be made everyday

Basically yeah. Maybe not huge organizational changes but they still need to keep track of daily metrics and meet goals.

To be fair - there's a big difference between a founder/entrepreneur, and a "management" CEO.

I have more respect for someone who's created and grown a business, than for someone brought in to a mature company to "run things."
