Abstract:

Today's executives and presidents are different from their predecessors, and they are operating in a changed environment. So many of the premises underlying lay-professional relationships for the past fifty years require significant modifications. The sharing of power, particularly in terms of access to information and the expectation of the executive to provide leadership and a vision for the organization, is a key issue. A mentoring system, as well as research and continuing education relating to lay-professional relations, is urgently needed.
