Even though the CEO is on good terms with most of the administrators, there are a few who don't like him. [get along]
This example is a little misleading.
I should probably add here that liking someone and getting along are not necessarily the same thing. I've have worked well with people (on good terms with them) whom I did not like and for whom I had very little respect.
