Gods in dragonball have ranks. At the bottom are planetary guardians overseeing their respective planets, and their power strongly depends on the inhabitants of their worlds(since they replace* themselves via said inhabitants). Low ranking kais like King Kai are weaker then Nappa, with their immediate superior, Grand Kai, is far stronger, comparable to base form Cell Saga Goku. And Shin, the remaining Supreme Kai for Universe 7, is stronger still, being around a Cell Games Super Saiyan level(the one's Kid Buu killed were all stronger, especially Grand Supreme Kai and South Supreme Kai).DBZ gods aren't very godly. They're basically mid-tier fighters in their own universe.
What's really impressive there though, is that fighting power is not a kaioshin's main role or requirement. A Kaioshin's job is creation, besides watching over their respective universe(DB has a multiverse, the DB universe is actually called Universe 7), a Kaioshin's job is to create stars and planets, and populate said planets with lifeforms(it is in fact against the rules for them to interfere with the mortal universe outside of creation).
Fighting, and from it Destruction, is the job of the Hakaishin, the God of Destruction(and they have more then enough strength to do so, enough raw power to blow up a universe in one-shot plus access to something called the Energy of Destruction which lets them basically delete anything in existence(though sufficient amounts of regular ki or God ki(the ki of gods, higher quality giving it more "bang" for it's buck then regular mortal ki and is also impossible to sense unless you are either sufficiently strong or have god ki yourself) can resist the deletion effect). It's the Hakaishin's job to be the Shiva to the Kaioshins Brahma/Vishnu. Destroying threats to the rest of the universe and underperforming planets bringing down the universe's overall ranking. While Kaioshin aren't actually supposed to interfere in the mortal realm, hakaishin have total freedom to do so. There is also a life-link between the two, if all Kaioshin were to die, their pared Hakaishin would also die and vice versa.
Now at this point you have to be wondering, if it's the Hakaishin's(in U7's case Beerus) job to be killing threats to the universe, then what's with shit like Majin Buu, Frieza and the planet trade? And then answer is that Beerus is as bad at doing his job as Shin is at being a Kaioshin, sleeping for decades at a time and destroying random shit for arbitrary reasons. There's a reason why Universe 7 is considered the second worst universe in the multiverse and that's because of how bad a job it's "management" are doing(dude slept during the mess with Majin Buu, both messes, and that's despite the fact that Buu came scary close to killing all the kaioshins and thus killing him via the life link. He's also the one that turned Old Kai into a sword just because Old Kai pissed him off during the annual Kaioshin/Hakaishin meeting).
In a properly run Universe, Hakaishin's only destroy what needs to be destroyed, often with a lot of research before hand and working closely with their partnered Kaioshin. These universes are virtual paradises compared to Universe 7, with a quality of life and "universe ranking" so high that the local Hakaishin's haven't needed to destroy anything in centuries.
Now, Hakaishin's are attended to by their own personal Angel(who are actually stronger then the Hakaishin's as keeping their Hakaishin from destroying to much is part of their job). And above the Angels and Hakaishin is the Grand Minister, one of the Top 5 strongest fighters in the multiverse and close adviser to the Omni-King(now Omni-Kings thanks to Goku and Bulma's time machine). And finally you have the Omni-King(s), Lord Zeno(s). Two beings with a child-like mentality and the absolutely terrifying ability to erase anything in an instant, even the entire DB multiverse if they wanted to.
*Funny enough, Hakaishin's are like Planetary Guardians, they used to be mortals before gaining their current position in the universal hierarchy.
