| Tiivistelmä: | This article reports on a study into the nature, dynamics and effects of the 'chemistry' of the Chairman/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) relationship (hereafter as: r-ship). A qualitative, semi-structured interview, narrative analysis methodology during a 28-month period was used. A sample of CEOs, Chairmen and Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) across the boards of nine corporations agreed to take part in in-depth discussion. There are two elements to 'chemistry', analytical interpretative capacity ('sense making') and deep friendship ('philos') which both emerge as primary to determining Chairman/CEO effectiveness and in combination advance meaningful knowledge sharing and a desire for learning in the boardroom, as well. Absence of either allows for a workable r-ship, but with neither, the Chairman/CEO dyad and the organization are harmed. This qualitative study highlights the criticality of 'sense making' and 'philos' as determinants of the quality of the Chairman/CEO r-ship. The critical nature of the Chairman/CEO r-ship in determining boardroom and organizational effectiveness are emphasized. |
