If the board is incompetent, then the CEO will usually be incompetent too. A CEO doesn't make every decision for the company, just the important ones. A new CEO has great impact on a company's present and future unless the company is already organized to give /other executives/ most of his or her responsibilities.
At the companies I've worked at, lower levels never make far-reaching decisions for the company.
- esarbe 5y agoIn all the companies I've worked at, never has a CEO made a decision that made a company successful. The best thing a CEO can do when it comes to decisions that make a company successful is one thing; recognize good ideas and get the hell out of the way of the people implementing that decision. That's what incompetent CEOs usually do; they get in the way of competent people doing a heck of a job. Good CEOs know that they are figureheads and try to stay out of the crucial decision making, handing off responsibilities to people that actually know what they are doing.

Even if they didn't come up with, say, a market strategy, they're important in executing it. They lead rather than getting the hell out of the way. >Good CEOs know that they are figureheads and try to stay out of the crucial decision making, handing off responsibilities to people that actually know what they are doing. A good CEO makes critical decisions. Handing off responsibilities if they know their limits is indeed part of being a good CEO.
