1. According to the document, several factors contribute to the poor performance of CEOs in India, including ownership structures where the CEO is often part of the promoter family and hires board members, rather than the board recruiting the CEO. Additionally, families, parent corporations, or political levels typically make decisions about firing CEOs rather than boards. There is also a lack of CEO succession planning. 2. The document outlines techniques used by multinational corporations to rate CEO performance. These include evaluating CEOs based on financial performance as well as leadership and organizational effectiveness. Performance is measured against 5-10 specific and manageable goals.

1. Analyze the reasons behind the poor performance of CEOs in India.

According to a survey, approximately half of Indian private companies say they review their
CEO on a regular basis. However, given that no board has changed the CEO in the last five
years, one has to ask how accurate these assessments are. Having said that, it does not appear
like Indian CEOs are in grave danger of losing their jobs due to bad performance. A significant
factor is also the basic variation in ownership structure. The state, a multinational, or a promoter
family are the dominant corporate owners in the rest of the globe, including India. The CEO is
frequently a member of the promoter family. While the board is expected to recruit a CEO in this
circumstance, it is the CEO who hires board members. That is the main reason why there aren't
many CEOs who are fired. The family, parent corporation, or political level makes these
decisions, not the board. Along with this is the lack of CEO succession plan.

2. What are the ways and techniques used by MNCs for CEOs’ performance rating?
Bottom-line impact, operational influence, and leadership effectiveness are all broad terms.
While each company's unique dimensions and objectives differ, there are some fundamental
rules that leading multinational organizations follow when defining CEO performance targets.
For starters, their evaluations go beyond financial performance. While financial indicators of
company performance are important, they only reflect one part of a CEO's performance. To
compensate for some of the limitations of bottom-line metrics, objectives that reflect how the
CEO acts as a leader, as well as the CEO's impact on the organization's effectiveness, should be
included.
Second, they concentrate on a manageable set of goals. When striving to capture numerous
aspects of CEO performance, one concern is that the list of performance characteristics will
become too long to manage. On the other hand, having too few dimensions causes the process to
be dominated by short-term financial goals. It is recommended that you employ between 5 and
10 dimensions.
Third, even though the chairman and CEO are the same person, they utilize independent
objectives for their success. The CEO of most North American firms also serves as chairman of
the board of directors. It's crucial to assess how well you're doing in both roles. The
chairmanship can be evaluated as part of a formal board evaluation process, or the CEO's
appraisal process can include elements of chairman effectiveness.
They define measures for each target in the fourth step. For all bottom-line and most operational
impact objectives, creating explicit metrics to track success against the specific target is
extremely simple. This is more difficult for “softer” dimensions, but it is possible. Leadership
behaviors, for example, can be assessed using rating systems that require board members to rate
how often the CEO exhibits desired behaviors and the impact they have.
Finally, for each rating metric, they specify performance thresholds. Having explicit measures
for each purpose helps the CEO define performance objectives. Specificity aids the CEO and the
board in developing a clear understanding of the performance standards.
