Why Boards Turn to Boardspan for CEO Reviews

1 A Comprehensive, In-Depth Review

Our leadership review assesses competencies across strategy, culture and other vital dimensions — including topics tailored to your organization. Feedback is collected digitally and summary comments are thoughtfully synthesized to maintain confidentiality and eliminate bias.

2 A 360° View of CEO Leadership & Impact

We bring together the board’s, executive team’s and CEO’s perspectives to offer a complete performance snapshot. Our experts then interpret the findings and present actionable insights that foster forward-looking dialogue between board leadership and the CEO.

3 Track Progress and Support CEO Development

Year-over-year score comparisons show where leadership development is working and where fresh focus is needed. This review helps both evaluate strategic performance and guide ongoing leadership development planning.

What You Can Expect

Full-Service Experience

We collaborate with board leadership to tailor questions, invite reviewers to participate via our digital platform, deliver a written report, and follow-up with a discussion of findings, managing the entire process with professionalism.

Leadership Performance Profile

Our comprehensive report includes an executive summary of results, a visual map of performance in nine critical leadership competencies, a summary of top strengths and development areas and an evaluation of performance on specific goals.

Expert Insights & Recommendations

Our experienced CEO Review team will identify themes and share observations derived from board and executive input, and offer context, insights and recommendations.

Guidance For Delivering Results

A Boardspan advisor is available to discuss findings with board leaders (and/or present them to a committee or to the full board, as desired), and can help structure honest, constructive leadership conversations.

Why CEO Performance Reviews Matter

1

Drive Success

A company’s performance hinges on the chief executive’s leadership; their effectiveness is a critical lever for organizational success.

2

Ensure Alignment

Without a mechanism for gathering objective feedback, the board leaves significant room for strategic misalignment, below-the-surface tensions, or oversight gaps. 

3

Understand Dynamics

The board and CEO both benefit from having a read on how performance is perceived by the board, the team, and the CEO themselves. 

4

Get Ahead of Issues

In a volatile environment, and with CEO turnover reaching a record high, timely insight is more vital than ever.
