According to Spencer Stuart, active CEOs represented over half (53 percent) of the pool of newly elected independent directors among S&P 500 companies in 2000. By 2010, that percentage fell to 26 percent. Active CEOs now sit on an average of 0.6 outside boards, down from 1.4 a decade ago. For me it remains unclear whether the change in professional composition of corporate boards represents a positive or a negative.
