Understanding Board Dynamics

We have all been on those boards where there is a person who just seems to disrupt the flow, sees the world differently or consistently seeks out opportunities for conflict. How we respond to these situations is a key factor in building positive board dynamics. While a skilled Chair helps, every board member has a responsibility for the success of the meeting and the quality of the decisions taken. 

In this short paper, we explore why board dynamics matter and how individual board members can support their Chairs to build an environment conducive to high performance.
