As leaders and decision-makers, boards of directors play a crucial role in governing organizations. However, the scenario is not always harmonious. Let's explore the types of conflicts that can arise in this context and how to address them:
𝟭. 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘀: The main shareholder and the CEO in conflict over vision and understanding. These conflicts are inevitable, and board members must identify and resolve them internally. The board chairman plays a vital role here, leading the board towards value creation.
𝟮. 𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘀: Disagreements between shareholders and family members can destroy value. Board members must work to prevent these conflicts from contaminating management. The perception that battles should not harm the company is crucial.
𝟯. 𝗘𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘀: The "emperor of all evils" of corporate governance. Financial scandals, fraud, and corruption have roots in ethical conflict. The manifestation of conflicts of interest and proactive board decision-making are essential to eradicate this cancer.
𝟰. 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘀: Although they may seem less harmful, these conflicts disrupt board dynamics. Board members must be vigilant and take action to maintain harmony. In summary, boards of directors should be spaces of wisdom, balance, and sound decision-making. When facing conflicts, remember: each battle won is a step towards the prosperity of the company and society.
