the chairman is ultimately responsible legally for the total performance of the organization. He or she is the architect of the board, leading the selection and induction processes, the annual appraisals of the board and directors, subsequent board and director development processes, as well as renewal and deselection. The chairman is also responsible for the board dynamics so will ensure open debate around the boardroom table, the declaration of any conflicts of interest, and the timely running and recording of meetings, working here with the company secretary.
