3. The board of directors is the highest ranking body in a corporation, and the chairman of the board is the highest ranking
individual. The CEO generally works under the board and its chairman, and the board generally has the authority to
remove the CEO under certain conditions. The CEO, however, cannot remove the board, but he or she can endeavor to
have the board voted out and a new board voted in should a conflict arise. It is possible for a person to simultaneously
serve as CEO and chairman of the board, though many corporate control experts believe it is bad to vest both offices in
the same person.
