Non-executive Director
With the general public losing faith in the activities of politicians and senior business figures, the role of the non-executive director is increasing important in modern corporate governance. The modern non-executive director is appointed based on objective and professional criteria and can add real value to any type of organisation.
In large, formal organisations with strict corporate governance standards the role of the Chairman of the board and the Chief Executive Officer are normally separated. The Chairman’s role is usually non-executive and is supported by other non-executive directors. The Chief Executive and executive directors run the organisation on a day to day basis and are responsible for implementing the policies and strategies agreed by the board.
