Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A CEO typically gains power when they have control over the Board of Directors and when they hold multiple positions within the organization, such as CEO and Chairman of the Board. Additionally, if outside directors are appointed by the CEO, this would also give them more power. The fact that inside Board members report to the CEO is also a source of power for the CEO.

In fact, it may indicate instability and lack of control over the management team, which could ultimately weaken the CEO's power. Therefore, C is the exception.
