Best Answer

Yes. The Chairman of the Board, with the Board's approval, can terminate the CEO. The Chairman of the Board is the Company or Corporation's highest ranking Executive and Officer.

This answer is incorrect. The CEO works for the Board as a whole, not the Chairman. In most publicly-held companies, the Compensation Committee of the Board (usually only "independent" directors) set compensation, goals and objectives for the CEO. Frequently the Chairman is NOT an executive officer of the corporation at all, except where the CEO and Chairman roles are combined in a single person. The Chair is typically the major communications link between management and the Board and ensures, on a more continual basis, that management is acting in a way to maximize shareholder value and remain focused on strategic objectives. Since the entire Board often meets only quarterly, the Chairman is often much closer to the substance of the business than other Board members, but he/she does not "manage" the company.

What does the chairman do?

A Chairman has numerous duties, each dependent on the company he/she chairs and the board charter (governing rules of the board).For the most part the Chairman is the moderator of the board meeting. It is up to the Chairman of the Board to lead the board members from their initial varying points of view or decisions to making a decision in the best interests of the company, organization, or political group. The Chairman must also preside over the meeting itself and ensure the meeting is not too long, off topic, or otherwise unproductive.In many instances the Chairman of the Board is also the company's CEO (Chief Executive Officer). In this case the Chairman/CEO conducts the meetings and also manages the entire company/corporation/organization to achieve the goals and strategies set by the board. There have been voices rumoring the combination of the two positions may be poor judgment because it illicits too much power in a single person.Overall the Chairman is a leader. In general the Board of Directors will create the overarching direction of the organization, the Chairman will work with the CEO to address this direction, and the CEO will impliment the actions in the company necessary to achieve the direction.Sort of like this;.........................Board of Directors............................................................|........................................................(Intended Direction for Corp)......................................................|.............................................................Chairman of the Board.........................................................|............................................(Assisting CEO with Direction Implimentation)........................................|..........................................................................CEO......................................................................../|\......................................................................../..|.\............................................................Company/Organization.....................
