Speaking Truth To Power: A Boardroom Duty for Non-Executive Directors, Chairs & Trustees
Sarah Pierman, CEO and Founder of Dynamic Boards, covered this topic in our February NED Community meetup on Monday 23rd March 2026. The session was hosted by Helen Ramsay, a Non-Executive Director and Member of our Dynamic Boards NED Community. Speaking Truth To Power: A Boardroom Duty for Non-Executive Directors, Chairs & Trustees Non-Executive Directors are not there to dominate - but to serve. It isn’t performance. It isn’t applause. It isn’t glory. It’s influence. The ability to shape the environment in which others can do their best work. For Non-Executive Directors, one of the most important responsibilities is this: Speaking truth to power. Following the discussion, we asked our NED Community the following questions: 1. How do you perceive POWER is played out on your boards? 2. Do you feel you give yourself the space and time to establish the TRUTH? 3. How do you find SPEAKING out about challenging issues?
