Abstract

Purpose

–

Looks at group decision making by Boards and impact of diversity on effectiveness.

Findings

Extensive research fails to demonstrate the superiority of the separate board leadership structure. Other factors supersede the need for independence where board leadership is concerned. There is no substitute for a single strong leader who is accountable.

Practical implications

–

Provides executives with information on important factors to consider when determining board structure.

Originality/value

–

Of particular value to CEOs and other board members
