Dear Srinath,
I do believe in the statement "the purpose these discussions is not to achieve agreement but to generate dialogue and hence further our understanding of the issues". Hence thanks for challenging my views.
When I wrote that most members of this forum are young, I did not meant underestimation any member's seniority. Still I feel that the right place for this query is one of the groups of LinkedIn and not Citehr.
You have given four parameters of measurement. However, KRAs on these parameters can be decided only by board of directors and no one else.
Today falling market share No 1 challenge of newly appointed CEO of Nokia. Obviously this factor will overshadow any other factor.
CEOs are selected based on the challenges of the market. When Carol Bartz joined Yahoo in 2006, her task was cut out - to increase the revenue from the search engine and take on the competition with Google. But at the time, challenges of the CEO their rival's i.e. - Google were quite different.
First appoint the CEO and then tell the juniors to frame the KRAs is nothing but ridiculous in plain language. Furthermore, Clara has asked duties and responsibilities of CEO also.
Possibly, we need to enumerate here the duties and responsibilities of the board members. Everything else is secondary at this moment.
Thanks,
Dinesh V Divekar
