Business reasons for board inclusion are straightforward. If family members have relevant business experience or expertise, or if they demonstrate superior strategic or analytical thinking and business knowledge, they may be considered as directors.

SUMMARY. While the Chairman technically has higher level powers, the CEO is indeed “the boss” of a company. And yes, the CEO does (by the letter of the law) answer to their board of directors, which is ultimately headed by the chairman.
Since the board chairperson is superior to the CEO, the CEO has to get the board chairperson to approve any significant moves. While the board chairperson has the ultimate power over the CEO, the two typically discuss all issues and effectively co-lead the organization.
The benefit of appointing a current director to the CEO position is that the director can act as a hybrid “inside-outside” CEO. He is likely well versed in all aspects of the company, including strategy, business model, and risk management practices.
