The CEO is also the Chairman - that isn't the best thing on average.
Mr Ackerman is also on the board of Home Depot. I've written about them before, I'll have to see if he was one of the people on the board back when Home Depot was having their problems.
Interesting how Mr Ackerman is on the board of UPS and Mr Smith is on the board of Fedex.
I'm not sure they compete, but it's also interesting that Mr Farrell is the chairman of Illinois Tool Works and Mr Smith is on the board at Caterpillar.
That's either a very contentious board or a board that has a lot of communications.
