Assessing the chief executive is one of the board’s primary governance responsibilities and is critical to the success of the chief executive and to the organization as a whole. The assessment clarifies the chief executive’s responsibilities, job expectations, and annual goals; captures the board’s perception of the executive’s strengths, limitations, and overall performance; and fosters growth and development of the chief executive and the organization.
The online version of the Assessment of the Chief Executive allows you to confidentially survey board members and receive an objective summary of their input on chief executive performance. It is a cost-effective, timesaving alternative to traditional paper-based surveying that delivers immediate results, ensures confidentiality, eliminates the tedious manual process of scoring answers, and allows you to monitor participation and send reminder e-mails to encourage greater participation.
The tool enables your board to evaluate the performance of the chief executive in four key areas:
- Annual performance goals
- Core competencies
- Leadership qualities
- Accomplishments and challenges
