Overview: From the executive summary: ‘In the US, most companies are separating the roles of the chairman and the CEO. While most companies in the US and elsewhere agree that separating the two roles makes sense, many are less sure about the best way to proceed. The uncertainty results in part from the polarized opinions of key stakeholders about whether to separate the roles in the first place and in part from the absence of widely disseminated best practices.
