Chief Executive Officer and Board
Interrelationship
While the Board needs to allow the CEO to carry
out the CEO’s role, this need is balanced by the
overarching obligation of the Board to supervise and
scrutinise the CEO appropriately. It is the Chair’s
role to lead and manage the Board so that it operates
effectively and to facilitate interaction between the
Board and the CEO. The CEO is responsible for day to
day leadership and management. A formal delegation
of authority to the CEO sets out specifc authority to
manage the day to day business and the restrictions
and limitations that apply. The roles of the Chairman
and the CEO are, and always have been, separate
at TGH. The Chairman and the CEO regularly meet
between Board meetings.
