> If a junior employee was to write up job descriptions for all of the roles on the org chart, what would the CTO's role and responsibilities be?

This is a fantastic question and good way to think about the issue. It may very well be that if I were to write down what I think he ought to be doing, that it would differ greatly from his own perception of what his role. But at least by identifying the divergence, we can work to rectify the situation.
