Disagreement isn’t a problem. It’s a sign of a healthy board. It’s how you handle it that matters.
In this session, we’ll explore why constructive challenge is vital for good governance, and why too much agreement can be just as dangerous as open conflict.
Learn how to spot groupthink, encourage constructive challenge and foster a board culture where difficult conversations lead to stronger decisions.
We’ll also explore how trustees can strike the right balance between challenging staff and offering meaningful support.
Disagreeing well is a skill few boards truly master, so this session is for every trustee who wants to help their board do better.
