The Quality of Challenge

Boardroom Dynamics Under Observation

Open enrolment and in-house

What it covers

The Challenge Rubric's six observable behaviours: airtime, the question standard, the fate of challenge, the price of dissent, the reading of silence and the formation of closure.

What you leave with

The Challenge Compact: the six behaviours specified as mechanics for the participant's own room, with the first applicable meeting named and dated.

Learning outcomes

  • Explain board dynamics as observable behaviour rather than fixed chemistry.
  • Apply the Challenge Rubric at room level to a deliberated or assented ruling.
