Chief Executive Officers' & their power:• CEOs can gain so much power that they are virtually
independent of the board of directors oversight .• This is especially true when the CEO is also chair
of the board of directors (CEO / Board Chair Duality).• The most effective forms of governance share power
& influence among the CEO & board of directors.• CEOs of long tenure can wield great power.
CEO / Board Chair DualityHas been blamed for poor performance & slow response to change.
