Why is it that organizations boards take
00:00:03
so long to make a decision on their CEO?
00:00:07
It You see, it depends on the board
00:00:08
composition, first.
00:00:11
In many boards, the CEO is very
00:00:15
overwhelming.
00:00:18
He has
00:00:19
and his people have lot more data and
00:00:22
information about the company
00:00:24
than individual board member.
00:00:27
They can get it. They don't get it.
00:00:31
Second, in each of the board members,
00:00:34
do not go to the bottom of the
00:00:37
organization, meet people.
00:00:39
They get almost all information through
00:00:42
the CEO.
00:00:44
It's PowerPoint presentation to the
00:00:46
second.
00:00:47
Mhm.
00:00:49
They have at my proposal in 1994
00:00:53
or so
00:00:55
that every company should have an
00:00:56
executive session.
00:00:58
It's in my book.
00:01:00
And I got calls from CEOs then
00:01:03
what the hell I'm talking. They cannot
00:01:06
have a board meeting without them.
00:01:08
Fear. Now, they are required by law.
00:01:12
So, it is in these sessions they can ask
00:01:15
these questions.
00:01:17
So, they don't have time to concentrate.
00:01:20
Good board actually ask the CEO what
00:01:23
they want as an agenda.
00:01:26
What information they want.
00:01:28
And the CEO sees this as a help to him
00:01:32
or her.
00:01:34
So, this way this is a good relationship
00:01:38
and they also know it's working.
