Helen Hopper: The Art and Psychology of Boardroom Relationships
In this episode of Governance Watch, Gavin Hinks speaks with Helen Hopper, co-author of The Art and Psychology of Board Relationships, about the emotional dynamics shaping boardroom performance. Against a backdrop of economic pressure, geopolitical uncertainty, and rising complexity, boardrooms may find themselves fatigued, tetchy, and struggling to collaborate effectively. Helen explores how fear, ego, and scarcity mindsets can undermine decision-making and strategic focus, and offers practical advice for directors and chairs on improving board relationships, managing difference, and fostering resilience. With the new year approaching, it’s a timely conversation about reflection, reconnection, and building stronger, more thoughtful governance teams.
