Having spent years in boardrooms across various roles, I've learned tension and conflict are inevitable but manageable. Here are some key reminders: - Maintain composure even when emotions run high. - Employ the art of the pause and it can be something like: "It seems folks are (unhappy, concerned, etc.).
