Reader asks: what CEO could work with this board?

I understand the point here, that a CEO is constrained by the effectiveness or lack of, of the board of directors.
If the board is out of touch with the workings of the hospital, it's problems and goals, then it would be only confusion the board would impart to the new manager.

I think you are correct.

Now, here's my idea about the problem with the board. Since Brad Armstrong and Bob Jamison seem to be lurking in the hospital like spectors in a haunted house, why don't they just put in their applications for CEO?
Its my opinion that they believe they can run this hospital better than the rest of the board or probably anyone for that matter.

Their credentials include ignoring the nursing center until it was weeks away from closing; helping create a bold construction plan that didn't work and trying to sell it to the public anyway; they were instrumental from keeping the truth about the problems with the hospital from the public; they ignore employee complaints; they were two of three who took over the board violating laws and ethics; But their best quality is that they can attack people personally with no compunction.

The two Pam Ott groupies should stop micromanaging and team up together to really manage the hospital. Let's call this team "high" and "mighty."

This way we will finally see who the problems are at the hospital.

What do you think Brad and Bob?
