In times of uncertainty, risk becomes the one thing leaders avoid—but the one thing organizations need. Based on groundbreaking research from IHHP, this high-impact session will challenge directors to rethink how fear of failure, emotional regulation, and leadership pressure impact the speed of decision-making at the board level. Learn why avoiding risk may be the greatest risk of all and what boards can do to foster a culture of courage and calculated action.

This program is complimentary to NACD members and nonmembers.
