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:

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