Power imbalances are a quiet engine of board conflict. A dominant founder, a combined chair and chief executive, a controlling shareholder or a clique of long-serving directors can crowd out challenge, so that disagreement goes underground until it erupts. For a senior executive this matters because a board that cannot challenge effectively is both a governance risk and a liability risk, and the imbalance is often invisible until tested. The report sets out how power imbalances drive conflict in your chosen jurisdiction and industry, the independence and governance framework that addresses them, the warning indicators, realistic impact ranges, and a mitigation framework covering when to engage a governance adviser, independent directors or corporate counsel.
