How misalignment of implicit governance paradigms shapes the spiral of the unsaid in boards of directors

I’m pleased to share our paper, developed over seven years of research, reflection, and rewriting with Prof. dr. Svetlana Khapova- my co-author, teacher, supporter, and friend. Her encouragement made me consider the possibility that an executive could also become a scholar and publish in respected academic journals, even later in life.

The paper explores how a spiral of the unsaid can emerge in board dynamics when directors unknowingly operate from different interpretations and expectations of the same situation while relying on assumed best practices.
