What does it mean to engage in a “reasonable interpretation” of a board's ends policies? Is there a particular process a CEO should go through? What's the best way to make sure that the interpretation is indeed reasonable and that it is meaningful and detailed enough to allow the CEO and the staff to get on with the business of making the ends actually happen? To help address these questions, Michael Conduff, a consultant and city manager in Bryan, Texas, and Denise Paszkiewicz, director of program development at People Inc., describe the process their organizations use and why.
