A good (or bad) chairman can lead to a good (or bad) board of directors. “Our study emphatically shows that bad chairmen nurture bad boards” was cited in 2008. “Good boards are created by good chairmen” was stated by the Financial Reporting Council in 2011.
“The old adage that there are no good or bad boards, only good or bad chairmen is increasingly true” was cited in 2014.
