In Issue 22 (Nov.–Dec. 1995), I wrote of the dilemma faced by a board when an organization's founding parent is the CEO. In this article I want to discuss the dilemma when the founding parent is a member of the board. By no means do all founders behave as portrayed in this article; many graciously adapt to their new role as board member. This article is written about those situations in which the transition has not been so adeptly managed.
