Public corporations are led by CEOs and other upper-echelon leaders who, in turn report to shareholders and board of directors (BODs). Interestingly, even though the board overseas the CEOs, decides on the terms of employment and salaries, and monitors their performance, the CEOs are, more often than not, the people who nominate board members.
