The responsibility of finding the right person as the CEO often rests with the board of directors. For many companies, the Chairman of the Board of Directors is usually the person who initiates the search process. Clearly he or she has to bear in mind, the goals and needs of the organization. Often the “right” person is in the mind of the Chairman but it is altogether a different matter to put the concept down in writing.
What about having a clearly defined and sufficiently detailed job description for the role of the CEO?
