In this episode, Mark Banicevich talks to Rob Everett about how boards can make their CEOs (Chief Executive Officers) successful. He asks what makes a board-CEO relationship work, and the role the board plays in the CEO’s success. They discuss CEO onboarding plans, the role of governance processes, and the tension between oversight and giving the board space to lead. Mark asks about performance reviews, and balancing performance assessment with genuine support for CEO development. They discuss how boards can unintentionally undermine the CEO, and how support for a first-time CEO differs from support for a seasoned CEO. Rob also shares advice for directors.
