To explore this critical area, The Centre for Legal Leadership have partnered with Helen Hopper and Joy Harcup to host an exclusive webinar focused on their publication "The Art and Psychology of Board Relationships: The Secret Life of Boards."
Boards, often viewed as drivers of strategic decision making, thrive on cohesive, respectful and open relationships among members. According to the webinar's featured book, the emotional and relational dimensions of board dynamics constitute a significant portion of effective governance.
Understanding crucial dynamics
This webinar aims to provide board members and legal professionals with insights into managing and optimising boardroom dynamics.

Developed from psychological principles and management expertise, this model empowers board members to navigate complex interpersonal dynamics effectively. By encouraging awareness of underlying psychodynamics, adopting strategic relational approaches and deploying practical tactics, participants will gain actionable strategies for enhancing boardroom harmony and performance.
Key takeaways
