The selection of a successor to a departing CEO is arguably the most important role of the board of directors. Ultimately, the goals of the board with respect to the CEO should be to help establish a solid foundation from which the new CEO can succeed, to stay engaged with the CEO’s progress by monitoring and evaluating the CEO, and to allow the CEO to do his or her job so the board can focus on its mandate of guiding the company through change.
