description Despite the prominence of recent headline-making Fortune 500 boardroom clashes, the majority of CEOs value the input and support of their board of directors. One needs only to think of the post-merger shakeup at Duke Energy or the CEO rotations at Hewlett-Packard to understand the media allure of internal corporate dramas. Given the surrounding media attention, it is easy to envision the boardroom as a place of barely-contained tensions and ticking clocks. While boardscan be rendered less than effective by unique personalities and nuanced dynamics, they are also considered a solid resource by most CEOs. Indeed, according to the latest RHR International CEO Snapshot Survey, 90% of CEOs report having a good relationship with their directors. The challenges CEOs face offer a unique and necessary opportunity for directors and CEO to work together in setting goals and recalibrating strategy.
