Communicating Differences across the Boardroom

AGB Trusteeship Podcast

Opinions expressed in AGB podcasts are those of the speakers and not necessarily those of the organizations that employ them or of AGB.

In an era of polarization and heightened scrutiny, how can higher education boards ensure that disagreement leads to progress—not gridlock? In this podcast, AGB Consultant and Senior Fellow Terry MacTaggart talks with Mylien Duong, Vice President of Research and Innovation at the Constructive Dialogue Institute (CDI). They explore research-based habits for constructive disagreement and share strategies to build trust, improve board culture, and keep shared purpose front and center. This episode offers timely, practical insights for board members, presidents, and board professionals navigating complex conversations on campus and in the boardroom.
