The relationship between the three:
The executive director of a limited liability company is the person in charge of a company without a board of directors. Only a small company or limited liability company without a board of directors can have an executive director, who is responsible for the company's decision-making and daily work on behalf of the company.
According to Article 50 (1) of China's Company Law, a limited liability company with a small number of shareholders or a small scale may have 1 executive directors, while a limited liability company with a board of directors does not have an executive director.
The general manager of a limited liability company is the executive body of the company's board of directors, responsible for implementing and executing the decisions of the board of directors, and is the company's permanent operating organization. In a limited liability company with a board of directors, if the chairman is the legal representative of the company, the general manager is only the manager of the company and cannot represent the company externally. Obey the leadership of the chairman, implement the decisions of the board of directors and fully perform the duties of the general manager.
Without a board of directors, there will be no chairman, and there will be no job conflict between the general manager and the chairman. In the case that the general manager is the legal representative, the general manager can decide the affairs of the company according to his functions and powers. On the contrary, when the company has no board of directors, the executive director does not conflict with the chairman, and the executive director can decide all the affairs of the company.
