Outside directors can help the entire board navigate important strategic transactions, such as an IPO, minimizing disruption related to the withdrawal of an investor, or other ownership changes.
The board of directors is not above the CEO because they are elected by the shareholders. The CEO is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the company and reports to the board of directors. The board of directors has the authority to hire and Fired CEOs, but they cannot tell the CEO what to do on a daily basis.
In some cases, the CEO may be able to effectively control the board of directors and use it to further his own interests rather than those of the shareholders. This can lead to a situation where the CEO is effectively above the board of directors.
Those Who Lack Objectivity If you can't take a step back and look at the big picture, you're not going to be an effective board member. You need to be able to objectively assess a company's performance and make decisions that are in the best interests of the company, not just yourself or your friends on the board.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO): the highest-ranking executive of the corporation responsible for the corporation's operations at every level, the CEO reports directly to the Chairman of the Board.
If your business is a corporation, then you are required by law to have a board of directors. Depending on your particular corporate structure and your state, one or two directors may be all that's legally required.
The CEO is at the highest position in a company. They head C-level members such as the COO, CTO, CFO, etc. They also rank higher than the vice president and many times, the Managing Director. They only report to the board of directors and the chairperson of the board of 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.
