Can a Chairman Mentor the CEO?

Authored by Marc Barber, Director of Content, Criticaleye

Criticaleye explores the relationship between the CEO and chairman, and presents four points that should be observed. 


Points of discussion include:

  1. CEOs don't do vulnerable 
  2. The chairman does the hiring and firing 
  3. The right level of trust and openness between both parties can make for a powerful partnership
  4. Being a CEO can be isolating, so seeking an independent view can be invaluable 

Featuring commentary from:

Tom Beedham, Director, Programme Management, Criticaleye 

Cheryl Black, NED, Unum 

Anthony Fletcher, CEO, Graze

Sir Ian Gibson, Criticaleye Board Mentor / Chairman, Norbrook

Ian Harley, Criticaleye Board Mentor / SID, British Energy 

Richard Laing, Criticaleye Board Mentor / Chairman, 3i Infrastructure
