Purpose of the CEO Performance Evaluation Template
The CEO Evaluation is the primary and most formal process the Board has for measuring CEO performance. Regularly measuring performance is important because the Board delegates responsibility for day to day management of the business to the CEO. From a governance point of view, the Board MUST take steps to ensure they know how well the CEO is carrying out their mandate.
Feedback from the CEO performance evaluation process is important to the CEO as well as the Board. Through the evaluation process the CEO gains a clear understanding of the Board’s goals, receives well-deserved and positive feedback on accomplishments, and gets an opportunity to clarify the Board’s expectations around performance of the CEO role.
Here are the key goals of the CEO performance evaluation process:
- Objectively measure CEO performance vs. the goals and expectations of the Board
- Reinforce and strengthen as necessary the alignment between the CEO’s priorities and performance, and the mission, vision and goals of the organization
- Define and establish the criteria, process and expectations for CEO growth and development opportunities
- Build a stronger more productive relationship between the Board and the CEO
- Fulfill a primary Board governance duty to ensure that organization is well lead and if not, to provide a legitimate basis for terminating the CEO
Using the Fillable CEO Performance Evaluation Template
- Use the CEO Performance Evaluation Template to collect performance feedback from the management team as well as the Board. Management team feedback is critical to the CEO Evaluation process.
- Ensure that all feedback collected from the CEO Performance Evaluation Template is kept confidential. Respondents who fear their feedback becoming public often provide incomplete or false feedback.
- Provide a reasonable amount of time for respondents to complete and return the CEO performance evaluation. Two days likely isn’t enough time. However, anything more than ten days is too long and often leads to respondents misplacing or forgetting to complete the CEO evaluation.
- Data collected from the CEO performance evaluation template should be summarized and prioritized for the Board and CEO. It is important to get the CEO’s perspective on the findings.
- The final output of a CEO evaluation should be a performance plan for the CEO that prioritizes improvement areas. The Board should manage and monitor this CEO performance plan throughout the year.
