Naming a successor to the CEO is one of the board’s primary functions. However, boards can do more than simply identify a single next-in-line successor. More strategically minded boards actively guide the organization’s leadership development process and focus on recruiting, motivating, and retaining high performers on a broader scale than just the chief executive’s office.

What is the defining characteristic of a bank? There are many different types of banks, but the thing that unites almost all of them is they borrow money from depositors and give it to lenders. In the industry parlance, banks “borrow short and lend long,” meaning they take in deposits on a short-term basis and make long-term loans, like mortgages. They pay a lower interest rate to depositors than they make from the loans.
