Are Directors Tone Deaf?
|
|
Ultimately, the success of governance reforms will be
judged by the shareholder's and the public's frame of
mind, notwithstanding any bottom line achievements.
Their perceptions are pivotal, even if contradicted by
facts. To address this reality, directors must give
weight to setting the "tone at the top," addressing the
emotional colorings and nuances that inevitably
establish credibility for their actions.
In
the end, the impressions of management's behavior, its
standards of ethical and business conduct shape
shareholder opinions as much as, if not more than, legal
and technical compliance. Please join what will be an
eclectic panel as they examine the topic.
