Boardroom Behaviour and Director Conduct
Tuesday 15th September, 2026
11:00 - 11:30 am AEST
Presented by Steven Bowman, FAICD
Â
Every boardroom has two systems: the formal rules everyone can see, and the unwritten rules that shape how influence, challenge and decisions actually unfold. This webinar explores how directors can read the room, recognise subtle signals, understand timing and tone, and contribute with greater impact, confidence and judgement.
Â

Recognising and Responding to Poor Director Behaviour
Poor director behaviour is rarely obvious. It often appears in subtle patterns: dominating discussion, remaining silent when challenge is needed, interrupting colleagues, or positioning rather than contributing. This session explores how to recognise these behaviours, understand their impact on board effectiveness, and respond constructively without escalating tension.

Addressing Dysfunction Without Creating Conflict
Boardroom dysfunction seldom begins with open conflict. This session explores how directors can recognise the dynamics of possible dysfunction, intervene constructively and support the Chair, while maintaining psychological safety, respectful dissent and the conditions for rigorous, effective governance and effective board decision-making.

Handling Disagreement Between Directors
Disagreement is inevitable in the boardroom, and constructive challenge is essential to good governance. This session explores how directors can challenge assumptions, listen to differing perspectives, manage emotional reactions and remain professional under pressure, while keeping disagreement focused on the issue and supporting better board decisions.
