Abstract Text Being considered legitimate is critical for CEOs to gain support and endorsement in their work. In order to create, maintain or enhance their legitimacy, CEOs rely on various strategies. However, managing legitimacy might be a challenging task for CEOs considering the heterogeneity of audiences who may have competing demands. This paper develops a model that accounts for how CEOs strategically manage their legitimacy when facing a complex network of audiences having distributed interests.
