Odd credo espoused by boss? (3)
I believe the answer is:
ceo
'boss?' is the definition.
(chief executive officer)
'odd credo' is the wordplay.
'odd' means one should take alternating letters.
The alternate letters of 'credo' are 'CEO'.
'espoused by' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ceo that I've seen before include "Initials commonly used for top boss" , "Initially, top man in an organisation" , "Initially, the top boss" .)
