CEO Performance Evaluation Template
CEO Evaluation Template – $4.99
This CEO performance evaluation tool is precise and easy to use. It focuses on specific performance areas and leadership skills of the CEO. The questions can be easily customized based on your organization’s specific needs and input to on-line survey tools like Survey Monkey. Then, the performance evaluation can be confidentially and easily distributed to the Board, Leadership Team and others evaluating the CEO. Although many CEO’s resist being evaluated, they prefer this approach because what’s being evaluated is relevant and the feedback is clear. If confidentiality is a priority, Boardroom Metrics can tabulate, assess and report on the results for you.

The CEO Performance Evaluation
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
