How much influence does a chairman really have on the the vision though? Isn't that more of the CEO's business?
I suppose the board picks the CEO, but that spot doesn't appear to be changing anytime soon.

In an ideal situation the chairman can function as the intellectual sparring partner of the CEO. Not many can do that, as some things cannot be discussed outside of the company personnel, and going downwards in the chain of command always has this gradient of authority which can function as an intellectual inhibitor.
- walshemj 9y agoThe Chair also acts in the last resort to sack the CEO if the company is going off the rails - soothing which the Chair at HP should have done a few years ago.
