Navigating Uncertainty in the Boardroom

About this episode

Dan Wolf discusses navigating complex boardroom dynamics amidst uncertainty in the business landscape.

In this episode of People + Strategy, we sit down with Dan Wolf, CEO of leadership consulting company Dewar Sloan and editor of the People + Strategy Journal’s Director’s Roundtable, a regular column in the magazine that features a conversation with corporate board directors about workplace issues. Throughout the conversation, Wolf explores what it takes to navigate today’s increasingly complex boardroom dynamics. As uncertainty around rapid social and economic changes redefine the business landscape, Wolf unpacks how effective boards balance consensus with constructive debate. What emerges is the importance of building a “consideration culture” to help organizations better align talent, strategy, and governance. https://www.shrm.org/executive-network/insights/people-strategy/chro-board-expanding-seat-of-influence https://www.shrm.org/topics-tools/research/2026-global-workplace-culture-report Subscribe to People + Strategy podcast to get the latest episodes, expert insights, and additional resources delivered straight to your inbox: https://shrm.co/nq47pr --- Explore SHRM’s all-new flagships.
