"CEO Performance"
1. For most organizations, the structure includes a Board or some other oversight body (such as City or County Councils or Board of Commissioners) that engage in performance management of the CEO. The process typically occurs on an annual basis, comparing the organization's performance to the Board's expectations. "Performance" may include several factors, such as financial stability, expansion ventures and increased hiring. Other areas may include communications (internal to employees and externally to shareholders) and leadership ability. The process is usually concluded by a discussion on areas the Board would like to see performance strengthen and outlining criteria for future evaluations. One recommendation to improve the process is the addition of "360" feedback. The Board could solicit input from those who report to the CEO, asking for input on how the CEO is perceived as a leader. This should be conducted in a confidential manner so employees feel free to provide honest feedback. This helps to add a "personal" element in performance review; rather than simply comparing a CEO's performance solely on numbers.
