Boardroom Respect Index 2025
Respect Isn’t Just a Value—It’s a Vital Governance Competency
Explore how respectful boardroom behaviour impacts risk, performance, and trust—starting at the top.
Highlights from the Index:
- Only 42% of board members report that differing views are consistently met with respect and curiosity.
- 1 in 3 directors have witnessed dismissive or undermining behaviour at board level—but say it’s rarely addressed.
Reflect:
- What tone does your boardroom culture set for the rest of the organisation?
- Is disagreement handled with dignity—or defensiveness?
Recommendations:
- Conduct a behaviour-based board review to identify patterns of respect or disrespect.
- Introduce a boardroom agreement or code of conduct linked to values, not just procedure.
We don’t have to agree on everything to be respectful of one another.
