Chairs and CEOs share their perspectives on building an effective relationship for the successful function of the board and organisation.
Chairs and CEOs have a unique relationship which should be anchored by mutual trust and respect. So how do you build an effective relationship – what’s critical and what are the most important areas to focus on? If the relationship between the two parties is either too close or too combative, all the other board functions can be under threat, and future implications for the entire organisation can be limited. Finding the correct balance in the relationship is key to the successful function of the Board as well as the entire organisation.
Join us for this discussion with two chairs and two CEOs, as they share their perspectives and discuss their experiences around what’s worked, what hasn’t and what’s needed to ensure an effective relationship between management and the board.
This event is brought to you in partnership with Dentons and will feature two chairs and two CEOs in a candid fireside chat format, followed by a Q&A.
