CEO Evaluation
Boards often struggle with executing effective CEO evaluations. We can help.
Boards and CEOs share a responsibility to ensure that they create mechanisms for open and meaningful feedback. Implementing a well-structured CEO evaluation is key to effective board governance and organizational health. Yet many boards aren’t sure how to structure a CEO evaluation or how to use the process as an opportunity to enhance the board’s effectiveness in working with the CEO.
A thoughtful CEO evaluation can lay down a foundation to:
- Identify capability, potential, and “fit for purpose”.
- Optimize contribution, impact and personal growth in complex, challenging contexts.
- Support the CEO and the board in achieving sustainable results.
- Help foster a culture of candid dialogue across the senior team and organization.
- Reduce the risk of CEO failure or unplanned turnover
