Can a Chairman Mentor the CEO?

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

Anthony Fletcher, CEO, Graze

Sir Ian Gibson, Criticaleye Board Mentor / Chairman, Norbrook
