Discuss the relationship between the CEO and Board of Directors. Open the discussion by explaining distinctions, or overlap, between these roles, for instance, if the CEO is also the board chair. Then, introduce a company as an example and outline the roles and responsibilities of the CEO in the company. Also, highlight any role conflict or confusion that may impede company performance. Review company board charters or other documents to understand the limitations of their roles. Close the discussion with any recommendations you may have to enhance the relationship between the CEO and board.
