And what about the era of off-the-wall titles... Head of People (I thought all humans had a head!), Wizard (is this a company or video game?), and Director of Fun (wow, back in pre-school!). Sometimes a simple amount of old-fashioned structure, presented in a straight-forward manner, is just what a company needs. LOL… exactly!

CxO titles have gotten out of control. Incidentally, I've met more CSOs whose titles stand for "Chief Sales Officer", and CROs for "Chief Revenue Officer". Remember during the dot com boom where everyone was called business development vs. salesman? That title continues. Using the "Salesman" title has gotten crazy: Business Development Manager, Regional Manager, Account Executive. Blah, blah, blah. If it sounds like a duck, walks like a duck, it's a duck. Amen!
