I think you actually do not have very much power as a board member. During normal operations, you can give advice to the CEO, but you have no power beyond the “access to the CEO”. If the CEO resigns or is being forced out, you briefly have an important power, but it is a very narrow power, the ability to find and vote in a replacement CEO.
The position is very public and respected so it may feel like “a lot of power” but quite often even a mid level employee at the organization has more real power over the direction of the company than a board member does.
I suspect this question is misworded:
Will there be a 4 year interval in which world GDP growth doubles before the first 1 year interval in which world GDP growth doubles?
Do you mean in which world GDP doubles? World GDP growth doubles when it goes from, say, 0.5% yearly growth to 1% yearly growth.
Personally, I suspect world GDP is most likely to next double in a period after a severe war or depression, so you might want to rephrase to avoid that scenario if that isn’t what you’re thinking about.
