Answer:
This means that Directors are free of all ties to the CEO and the company.
Explanation:
Director Independence means a director on the board of directors of an organization should have no ties or links to the organization or any member of that organization.
Non-interlocking directorship means that a director in a firm should not be a director, or part of the management team, in another competing firm.
Top-ranked boards would prefer to avoid interlocking directorship when appointing a board member, and also that an independent director selected to be part of the board, has no previous ties to the company or any of its employees.
