Relief

The anticipation of disruption in the Board Room can cause needles stress for all those concerned.

If someone is not happy in their role or if they are happy but others are not, then there are very straightforward ways of dealing with the vast majority of changes and replacements that need to be made.

The tension comes from people seeing the situation from first position, their own perspective. This means that the CEO who is upset at having to remove an under performing production director, simply cannot be certain how that person is actually going to react.

Equally, if a member of the Board is confident that they are next in line for the top post, it is impossible to predict how they will behave on being told that they will not get the job.

One of the most common if surprising, reactions to these situations is one of absolute unconditional relief, sometimes from both parties.
