The board has the power to overrule the CEO's decisions, but the chair of the board does not have the power to overrule the board.

Securities legislation in most jurisdictions has stringent rules in place to prevent insiders from taking advantage of their privileged position for pecuniary gain through insider trading.

A mad hatter is a chief executive officer (CEO) or managerial team whose ability to lead a company is highly suspect.

A mad hatter is a chief executive officer (CEO) whose ability to lead a company is highly suspect. Shareholder activism is often criticized as being based on generating short-term gains regardless of long-term costs, but the removal of a Mad Hatter CEO can make the difference between a company's survival and failure. Mad Hatter CEOs of public companies do not have the same level of job security as their counterparts in private companies, due to their many stakeholders with voting rights and their boards of directors. In the corporate world, the term Mad Hatter refers to a leader or CEO of a company who is ill-equipped for the role. Once in power, Mad Hatter CEOs tend to exhibit poor decision-making skills by acting out of self-interest, haste, ego, or gut feelings.

Michael Eisner was a late 20th century and early 2000s media mogul, primarily serving as the chair and CEO of Walt Disney Productions from 1984-2005.

Letter of Resignation, Dated 11/03/30, From Roy E. Disney to Michael D. Eisner Exhibit 99.1

In many ways, the story of Michael Eisner is a story of the corporate entertainment world, with many household names playing their own part. Disney would later resign from his position as vice-chair of the board and chair of Walt Disney Feature Animation but would lead a proxy war rebellion in rallying the stockholders to keep Eisner from getting re-elected as chair.
At the time, Roy O. Disney felt there was too much micromanagement coming from on high, but he later used his shares in the company along with his name recognition among Disney company shareholders to mount a proxy war against Eisner, who was removed from the chair position as a result of these actions in 2004. Eisner's battle with Disney's heir Roy O. Disney ultimately led to his ouster from the company, following a proxy war rebellion in which Disney rallied shareholders against the CEO. People like Barry Diller and Jeffrey Katzenberg are like brand names for the entertainment industry, and Eisner took his place among them at stalwart companies such as Paramount Pictures and Walt Disney Productions. By this time Diller was the chair of Paramount Pictures, and he recruited Eisner from ABC and brought him over to Paramount to become the President and CEO of the movie studio division.
