Episode 4 - The Record and the Reality

Board decisions are recorded in the minutes. But what about everything that shaped the decision before it got there?In this episode of Off the Record, Adam Coonan and Lisa Coletta explore the gap between what is formally recorded and what is actually experienced inside the Boardroom.They discuss the behavioural dynamics that influence decision-making, including power, influence, challenge, silence, confidence, culture and the subtle signals that often shape outcomes long before a resolution is passed.Why do some voices carry more weight than others? What does silence really mean in a Boardroom? And how can two Boards with similar governance structures produce vastly different decision-making outcomes?This conversation explores the human dynamics behind governance and why some of the most important influences on Board decisions never make the minutes.
