The board’s independent monitoring function had always been there in name, but now it has become more widespread in fact: The boards of more than nine out of ten of the S&P 500 companies have a lead or presiding director, up from none a decade earlier.

Star CEOs can be good for companies, providing social proof that their firm is a high quality place and making it easier to attract capital and talent.

A few months ago, Ram Charan proposed splitting HR into two parts: one to oversee leadership and organization, and one to handle administration.

In the July/August issue of HBR , Ram Charan argues that the Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) role should be eliminated, with HR responsibilities funneled in two separate directions — administration , led by traditional HR-types, reporting to the CFO; and talent strategy , led by high-potential line managers, reporting to the corner office.
