Conflict at board level is the exposure that builds when directors fall out over strategy, control, capital allocation or each other's conduct, and the disagreement stops being healthy challenge and starts paralysing decisions. For a senior executive it matters because a divided board slows or blocks approvals, leaks into the market, and exposes individual directors to claims that they put faction before the company. This report sets out how the risk manifests in your chosen jurisdiction and industry, the directors' duties and governance codes that frame it, the scenarios and warning indicators experienced chairs watch for, realistic financial and reputational impact ranges drawn from published cases, and a mitigation framework with explicit guidance on when to engage corporate counsel, a governance adviser or an independent mediator.
