The Importance of the CEO-Board Relationship
Tuesday, Sept. 15 ⬥ 8:00 - 8:50 am PT / 11:00 - 11:50 am ET
Track: Own the Room
The relationship between a CEO and the board is crucial for effective corporate governance. It is an interdependent partnership where the CEO leads the organization and executes strategy, while the board provides oversight and strategic direction. We will discuss trust and transparency, roles and responsibilities, increased oversight and independent director trends affecting the relationship, and communication strategies and alignment on goals to build a productive relationship.
Our panelists of CEOs who have also served as independent board members will provide guidance on issues such as:
- What are key best practices for CEO and board of directors’ collaboration?
- How does CEO’s performance impact the board’s decisions?
- What challenges can arise in CEO and board relationship?
- If CEO is Chair of the Board, how does that affect the CEO-board relationship?
- How does succession planning affect the CEO-board relationship?
