This is true for a giant like Microsoft and a tiny small business that has incorporated. The board of directors is responsible for the performance of the business. They set general policy and strategy for the corporation. They do not handle day to day decisions unless they are significant ones. Instead, the board elects officers of the corporation to run the day to day stuff. This includes the CEO. Every year, the corporation has an annual meeting. At the meeting, the shareholders vote on who will be directors for the next year. If things are going well, the same directors are usually re-elected. If things are going poorly, there can be changes. Regardless, this is how the owners of the corporation, the shareholders, control what is happening. If a majority of shareholders hate the CEO, they can push that officer out by voting in directors that will make a change. In a small business corporation, the shareholder and director roles can become confused. Simply put, a corporation with three shareholders is not going to have an independent board. Instead, the three shareholders will often also be the three directors. In turn, they will also probably be the elected officers, receptionist, janitor and so on. Regardless, it is important to understand that shareholders own the corporation through their shares while board members guide the general course of the business.
