[@josecasciola5711]

if you sell the shares of your company, it is no longer your company so it is no surprise you can get fired...

Woah, netflix looked real different back then.

[@ritteradam]

It had great board of directors

[@ea_777]

After all of these great explanations, I'm still not clear who actually sends/gives the official "you are officially a board member" document/letter. How does a board member legally become a board member ? Who does that ? CEO ? ... Also, can a board member be fired ? Again, if yes, who does that ?? I'm so confused !

[@rodolfochacon1135]

Steve Jobs got fired by the board of directors influenced by someone that he hired.

[@everymanhasastory]

But who selects the board of directors? We are in the process of purchasing a cruise ship and starting a boutique cruise line

[@glennmichael999]

Jay, I always ran smaller private companys. We never formally elected our board. The board consisted of upper management and two inside people important to the company. Because the three exeutives controlled the majority of the voting stock, the CEO could never be fired. Did we do something wrong?

Hello from 8 years into the future. - Hope you figured it out :-)

[@MelanatedGodis222]

thanks for the information, my question is if your working with a company on licensing manufacturing so forth so on one project but you have another idea that you want to get up and going as well and you make the attempt to present it to the same company and that company tell you let work on one thing at a time, would it be a wise move to start working with another company for the new idea?

[@kyalvidigi1398]

So basically BoD are your employees that you hire to command or fire you.

[@shefaligautam5419]

Hi Jay, I have a query regarding the role of board of directors. Do they report to anyone in the company? Also if the decision of board of directors is not compliant with the betterment of the company or say it is not agreeable to employees or any other person in the company, what happens then ? Are board of directors monitored by any other entity in a company. Futhermore, How does one become a member of board of directors ? like way to become one of them. Thanks & Regards

Hey Jay! When setting up a 5 person board is it common to request 4/5 supermajority vote to remove an officer/CEO?

[@askjayadelson]

@BeatTheBrave Every independent corporation, technically, has a board. I believe there are other options for different corporate structures, but definitely in the case of my companies (C-corporations). You don't need to be public to have a board. -Jay

[@JuliusLeachmanIII]

Hey Jay, as always great video and advice. Question, does every business need to have a board of directors or are they just for publicly traded companies since they are loyal to shareholders? Again, great video and advice and keep'em coming...

[@cuppajoe2]

Only public companies need a board of directors, since private companies may have 1 person who owns 100% of the stock.

[@cadmanmusic]

Since I am a car fanatic my question is does a automakers board approve or deny new car models? So take GM or example, there was a story where Cadillac was thinking about creating a mega luxo car to take on Bentley, Rolls etc. But they decided against it. So was this just management or dose the board get involved at this point as well? I assume the management has to answer to the board.

[@sumannraaz5264]

Exactly happened to me! Jay!..I founded an IT company 2 years back with a big vision. I sold my shares for investment to some people who, at that time were ready to wait for 2 years till the product was built. Just in 1 year we were awarded National award (2016) as the best startup company in Nepal for vision and work. We created a board of 7 people and had more than 300 employees but in just 14 months we started having disagreements on revenue while i was focused on building the product i had promised n would take one more year to build. I, being the CEO and Chairman of the Board tried to use my powers to dismantle the board but all went crazy and things went from bad to worse. and Damn! one day i was called in the board meeting and asked to step down from my own company's board and resign from CEO. It became the shittiest day of my life! I m on legal procedure now and things r in my favor. Can i take some suggestions from u Jay??

[@tinotendamasina8644]

CEO is responsible for the day today running of the company and implementation of strategy crafted by the board ...

[@FlashFag]

Hello there, First of all, great movie. Had a little question though because i heard on boards you have executive directors and non-executive directors. Is it so that non-executive directors are those people assigned by the shareholders (those which you also talk about in your movie) and that the executive directors are actually persons/managers/(perhaps the CEO?) who work inside the company and that get elected also by the shareholders to sit on the board? Thanks for replying.

[@ImperialEarthEmpire]

how to become a board member? do you need to buy a huge amount of company's share?

[@sarojsardar369]

If the owner or founder holds the majority stake or shares of a company then also he/she can get fired ?

[@askjayadelson]

Yes, if the company's bylaws state that the hiring/firing of the CEO is based on a board majority versus shareholder majority. You can write bylaws so many different ways, and VCs can get law firms to write them any way they see fit. However, generally speaking, if the founder is a majority shareholder, USUALLY that means they can override a board vote with a shareholder majority, which is why people like Zuck are immune from getting fired.

[@shane1388]

You're really easy to understand, thanks!

[@Aaronclarke752]

What is different between board of directors and chairman? Would you elaborate that difference brother jay?

A board of directors constitutes of members selected by the shareholders to create value for them ,after the nomination committee and independent head hunters reccomend to the shareholders on the best qualified the shareholders vote ,that is ordinary shareholders as they are the ones with voting powers ,and one becomes a board member.

[@T1ger8oi]

so... im guessing majority ruling is the only way they can fire the CEO? is the percentage based upon the share percentage they hold? or is it based upon how many seats are in your BOD?

[@jackysew262]

Do the board of directors fired the CEO based upon voting? If I received the investment from VC in Series A by company A, how many players will represent this Company A during the meeting?

[@askjayadelson]

@JKGeary Yes, you could be the sole board member... You don't need to find board members to start the business.

[@anshulb6128]

No u cannot as u are the major shareholder , although provided the company terms and conditions and the legal Paperwork that has been set so . Different countries have company acts set accordingly. However a non executive board member does not have the power to fire .

With Elon Musk now joining the board of directors of twitter I had to understand what he can do? Like how much power does he have?

[@askjayadelson]

A public company board director, and in particular a chairman, has plenty of power over many things, include audit committees, HR processes, etc. The board provides checks and balances depending on the specific rules in the shareholder agreement. This is very different IMHO than a private company director. Therefore... it depends.

If you have controlling numbers of stock, it doesn’t mater that you go public...that mantra “it’s about the share holder is pure unadulterated bullshi_! Whomever has control over the numbers has control over the company, even after he was removed Jobs got his company back by selling more of his stock! In the two companies my wife has worked work that went public; less than 2% of the share sold are for “public” investors. The remaining 98% are owned by the owner and Board of Directors as well as the employees that got to purchased their shares at 1/6 the cost of the initial opening; which no one can begrudge! The stock market does not reflect the health of the economy, the only thing it represents is the one demographic that made money during the crash of 08 and the ones making trillions today during a pandemic, MILLIONAIRES-THE ONLY GROUP THAT MADE MONEY WHILE THE “NORMAL PUBLIC SHAREHOLDERS” LOST DECADES OF THEIR WEALTH NEVER TO BE RECOVERED BUT WE BAILED OUT OUR RICH!!!!
