“Successful governance performance requires a successful partnership between board and chief executive. It is a reciprocal relationship. While the board has reasonable expectations of the chief executive so too does the chief executive have reasonable expectations of the board. Every board must know what it takes to find and keep motivated the best chief executive they can afford to get.”
Terry Kilmister, Graeme Nahkies with Boardworks International
