CEO AND Board Level Accountability
The accountabilities of the CEO and the board chair in leading the board, its committees, and other stakeholders have always encompassed a variety of critical areas. Today these accountabilities and the results of the board’s efforts are not only important to a variety of constituents, but can also be vital to the very survival of the enterprise.
The accountabilities of the CEO and board chair—and those assessed by Signature Board Consultants—normally include:
Stakeholder confidence and value are enhanced through outstanding organizational governance—expressed as a clearly understood and integrated system of roles, accountabilities, values, and performance expectations. All members of the governing body must be dedicated to understanding, accepting, and carrying out their responsibilities in accordance with the governance system the board has elected to enact.
