#7 | Could Conflict Avoidance Be The Root Cause Of Your Board Misalignment?
What if your boardroom’s harmony is actually hiding dangerous blind spots?
Too many leadership teams mistake agreement for alignment—and it’s costing them their competitive edge. In this episode, we explore how the fear of productive conflict creates a façade of unity that erodes true strategic cohesion.
You’ll learn the hidden costs of conflict avoidance and why false harmony is more dangerous than open disagreement.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- How false harmony leads to 41% more strategic errors and 43% lower implementation success.
- Practical frameworks like the Healthy Tension Audit and Mandatory Opposition Protocol that surface hidden disagreements.
- How to build productive conflict capabilities that transform your leadership culture without damaging trust.
Listen now to break out of echo chambers and turn productive conflict into your board’s competitive advantage.
New episodes every Monday & Thursday.
