Abstract
There is general consensus that Chairmen are trustworthy individuals of integrity. The openness and mutual respect in their relationships with CEOs and MDs is ranked highly by all Board members and their commitment to organisational goals is valued. Nevertheless, there is a perception, particularly among Deputy Chairmen, that Chairmen seek insufficient feedback on their own performance. Similarly, Deputy Chairmen see Chairmen as being illdisciplined, suggesting that there is room for improvement around the area of internal governance.
