"the insolent and cocksure hare"....whoever wrote those words has brought me so much joy. I love the Gavin Belson character so much. He was an essential element of a truly great tv show.
Fun fact: Newton was actually project from the time they fired Steve Jobs and the CEO was John Sculley, Jobs killed the whole project when he got back.

The CEO absolutely cannot fire the board. The board is a representation of the shareholders, those with am actual ownership stake. The Chairman of the board is, I think, selected from the board, and the chairman I think is likely to be the person with largest percentage ownership stake in the company. Often, that person is the Founder of the company, the person who built it up into a publicly traded company, who would logically retain the largest controlling ownership share throughout that process. So a person creates a company and runs it as the CEO. As it grows, he accepts investment from others who want to trade their cash for an ownership stake. Their ownership stake grants them voting power on the board. Eventually, if the founder/CEO loses the confidence of the board, he may be removed from the CEO position via a vote of the rest of the board.
Honestly it's really strange how it's worked out. When someone starts a business, they own it. But if they need outside money, they can try and get a loan, or they can sell off a portion of the ownership of their company to someone else. When they sell off shares, they get cash in return, which they can use to fund their latest projects. The company only gets cash from the initial sale of the share, and for the rest of time they get nothing, but the shareholder can get something. Now you own 20% of the company. Who decides what happens with a business? Simple majority - when 51% of the owners make a decision, that's what happens. Partial ownership of a company is called a share. Sometimes, businesses can choose to pay out dividends to shareholders, where everybody who owns a portion of the company gets paid an amount equal to their ownership percentage. If the company pays out 100,000 then your 20% gets you 20,000. Not every company pays out dividends. Because these ownership percentages can be bought and sold, the price of a share can fluctuate, regardless of how a company is actually performing. As the number of shareholders grows, you eventually need to select representatives to act on the behalf of the interests of the shareholders. These people are chosen to sit on the board of directors. The board of directors work on behalf of the shareholders, who generally want to see higher share prices since that's their investment. The board choose a CEO to operate and manage the company on their behalf. The CEO has full control over the entirety of the company. If the board is unsatisfied with the company's performance, they can fire the CEO and replace them. Generally, CEO compensation is tied to the price of shares, since the board wants higher share prices. So the CEO is incentivized by the board of directors working on behalf of the shareholders to maximize the price of the company's shares at the expense of everything else. Shareholders can usually vote to have directors/members of the board removed. If the CEO is a majority shareholder (and thus functionally unable to be fired by the board) then they can vote to remove directors from the board. Sometimes a board can vote to remove one of their own members. If the CEO can convince 51% of the board, they could likely have a person on that board removed. Lastly, board members can opt to resign or step down "of their own free Will", if say 90% of the employees threaten to resign unless the board quits.

I never understood the US management of companies: the CEO can fire the entire board, and the board can fire the CEO? How does that work?
The CEO absolutely cannot fire the board. The board is a representation of the shareholders, those with am actual ownership stake. The Chairman of the board is, I think, selected from the board, and the chairman I think is likely to be the person with largest percentage ownership stake in the company.

Their ownership stake grants them voting power on the board. Eventually, if the founder/CEO loses the confidence of the board, he may be removed from the CEO position via a vote of the rest of the board.

Its just plain voting of the board members. If CEO has more votes to stay. He stays. If the majority board votes to fire CEO. he gets fired.
in what universe can the ceo fire board members lmfao
