How do we hire a new or replacement Chief Executive Officer?

The Free Management Library provides guidelines for handling the chief executive officer's (e.g., executive director's) notification to the board, matters of confidentiality, board preparation, administrative preparation for staff and board, interim coordination between board and staff, and hiring and orienting the new chief executive officer. Links are also provided to guidelines for evaluating the chief executive officer, firing employees, leadership development, the role of the chief executive officer, general staffing concerns, and sustaining a high-quality relationship between board and staff.
