Bad balance:
Strong Chair and a weak CEO
Weak Chair and a strong CEO
Good balance:
Strong Chair and a strong CEO
Weak Chair and a weak CEO. 

This last combination seems odd, but it does work, perhaps the organisation isn’t as dynamic as it could be, but the leadership team will probably be compatible.

Problematic issues tend only to arise in the former combinations, when strong, charismatic characters tread on the toes of their counterpart. This leads to inappropriate intervention and, at worst, a breakdown of trust and effectiveness.

What combination of leadership do you have?
