“Their collective gut had told them that lending money to the CEO was a bad idea, but they all went along. When I asked why, one of them explained, “Because it’s hard to sit in a room and disagree with people you respect who think it’s okay.” I pointed out that they had summarized effective corporate governance in one sentence: being able to sit in a room of gifted and bright people and raise questions about troubling issues that no one else sees or is willing to raise is the single most important talent a director must have.”
COULD you do it? Have you been willing to raise questions and face conflict? Please give us an example.
