Government Service Executives  

Definition of Occupation

Determine and formulate policies and provide overall direction of federal, state, local, or international government activities. Plan, direct, and coordinate operational activities at the highest level of management with the help of subordinate managers. Chief executives and legislators at the federal, state, and local levels direct government activities and pass laws that affect us daily. Most chief executives are elected by their constituents, but many managers are hired by a local government executive, council, or commission, to whom they are directly responsible.
