  • The article presents a case study involving a conflict between a female company director, Sarah, and Sid, the chief financial officer of the company whose board she sits on. At board meetings Sarah often conflicts with Sid over what she considers to be the meager financial details he provides. Eventually the chief executive tells Sarah that Sid has threatened to resign unless Sarah tones down her criticism. Commentary on how Sarah should respond to the situation is presented from chief executive Ilene S. Gordon of global ingredients supplier Ingredion and Sue Decker, a former president of Internet company Yahoo.
