Leading With Emotional Intelligence: A Guide For Board Directors – eBook

Technical expertise, industry knowledge and governance frameworks are essential. Yet many governance failures occur not because directors lack knowledge, but because emotions, assumptions and interpersonal dynamics influence judgement in ways that often go unrecognised.
