Minor correction, the board's only job is to hire/fire the CEO, and decide whether the company can be sold to a prospective buyer


As a Delaware CEO, there is more than this. It depends on if the company is private or public. There is a duty of loyalty and a duty of care. Both of them have specific obligations, including hire/fire the CEO, sales, resourcing (e.g. financial plan approval), compliance, a neutral voice on comp and other stuff.
