How do shareholder interests create conflict?

Shareholder interests are a structural source of board conflict because owners do not all want the same thing.

A founder, a long-term institution, an activist and a minority holder can each have legitimate but incompatible aims over dividends, control, risk and time horizon, and the board sits where those aims collide.

For a senior executive this matters because the board can be pulled toward one constituency at the expense of its duty to the company as a whole.
