Calgacus 8 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I think as a matter of policy a CE shouldn't be on the Board. Part of the Board's job is to supervise him or her,how can they do that properly if he or she is part of the board. Another issue can be,that if a CE is on the Board, he can get caught up in the politics of the Board, rather than getting on with his job of running the business. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the problem with a CEO not being on the board is that it means he isn't privy to board meetings and decisions but will be expected to implement the boards decision making without being in full knowledge of what the decision was or the intent of it. In most companies the CEO is on the board and that doesn't render the boardroom indeed the CEO useless. The Board have adequate means of supervising the CEO, they have the right to remove if the CEO isn't operating as intended. The CEO will get caught up in board politics whether he is on the board or not. It happens invariably. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
