Abstract

Chapter 4 portrays board chairs from Switzerland as diligent professionals working for the long-term development of their companies and considering an effective board of directors as a core element of such development. Swiss board leaders describe themselves as “first among equals”, “shepherds”, “conductors” and “the link between the board and the CEO”. They plan for the long term, ensure the quality of board materials, and combine discipline and freedom of expression during board discussions. They work proactively with shareholders and executives on behalf of the board and bring the information they gather back to the directors.
