When Boards Undermine CEOs: How ‘Help' Turns Into Harm
In times of uncertainty, the relationship between a board and the executive team should be a source of strength. But when performance is under pressure, that relationship quickly becomes a source of strain. Yes, boards have a critical job to do. Their oversight, accountability, and long-term perspective are vital to company health and performance. It's when that oversight tips into overreach that the cost to the business can be significant. Here's what that can look like: Board Engagement Goes Into Overdrive Instead of giving management space to course correct, boards increase the volume of requests and deepen their involvement. Management ends up spending more time preparing decks or responding to board questions than solving problems and addressing issues. You're Pushed To Engage Board-Favored Firms Or Consultants Even well-intentioned referrals can feel politically loaded if those advisors are seen as board proxies rather than true partners to the CEO and management team. The Chair Dominates; Other Board Members Stay Quiet Power can become concentrated in a single board member, especially in crisis or founder-led environments. Without active participation or leadership from the rest of the board, governance suffers, and CEOs are left navigating a one-person approval funnel. Founders Who Sit On Boards Interfere In founder-led or founder-influenced companies, legacy leaders may continue to attend internal meetings or offer informal input. While their insight can be valuable, this often confuses authority and undermines the CEO's role in leading. The Appetite For Detail Becomes Unmanageable Some diligence is essential. But when board members dive too deep or question every metric or data point, it doesn't just slow things down — it sends an implicit message: 'I don't trust you.' Why It's Happening More Often The broader environment is contributing: Tariffs, supply chain volatility, geopolitical instability — these headwinds increase pressure on boards to 'do something.' When numbers dip, so does confidence, and without visible progress, some boards stop believing the leadership team has it under control and start stepping in. This dynamic can be even more pronounced in founder-led, PE-backed, or highly operational boards, where the distinction between governing and managing may not be as clearly defined. Another sensitivity: Many management teams see the breakdown coming before the CEO does. They may want the CEO to push back on the board, but that's no small task. Boards hold power, and speaking up takes political capital and comes with real risk. How To Reset Your Relationship With The Board: First Steps While overreach from the board can become frustrating, exhausting, and disappointing for management teams, the dynamic presents an opportunity to reestablish boundaries, grow trust, and strengthen transparency. Consider these steps:

Deadline Alert: Sable Offshore Corp. (SOC) Investors Who Lost Money Urged to Contact Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP About Securities Fraud Lawsuit
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP reminds investors of the upcoming deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Sable Offshore Corp. ('Sable' or the 'Company') (NYSE: SOC) securities between May 19, 2025 and June 3, 2025, inclusive (the 'Class Period'), and/or pursuant and/or traceable to the Company's May 21, 2025 secondary public offering (the 'SPO'). IF YOU SUFFERED A LOSS ON YOUR SABLE INVESTMENTS, CLICK HERE TO INQUIRE ABOUT POTENTIALLY PURSUING CLAIMS TO RECOVER YOUR LOSS UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS. What Happened? On May 19, 2025, Sable announced that it had resumed oil production from one of three offshore platforms related for its Las Flores pipelines ('Onshore Pipeline') in California. Then, on May 23, 2025, the California State Land Commission sent Sable a letter regarding its May 19th announcement, warning that it 'appears to mischaracterize the nature of recent activities, causing significant public confusion and raising questions regarding Sable's intentions,' and that Sable had conflated offshore well testing activities required by a federal regulatory agency with the restart of operations. Then, on May 28, 2025, the Santa Barbara County Superior Court approved a preliminary injunction from the California Coastal Commission regarding Sable's maintenance and repair work in the coastal zone related to the Onshore Pipeline. On this news, Sable's stock price fell $5.04, or 15.3%, to close at $27.89 per share on May 28, 2025, thereby injuring investors. Then, on June 4, 2025, Sable disclosed that a Santa Barbara County Superior Court Judge had granted 'temporary restraining orders prohibiting [Sable] from restarting transportation of oil through the Las Flores Pipeline System.' On this news, Sable's stock price fell $0.94, or 3.9%, to close at $23.10 per share on June 4, 2025, thereby injuring investors further. What Is the Lawsuit About? The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Defendants represented that Sable Offshore Corp. had restarted oil production off the coast of California when it had not; and (2) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. If you purchased or otherwise acquired Sable securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than September 26, 2025 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.

Former Chancellor Osborne Warns UK Is ‘Completely Left Behind' on Crypto
Former UK Chancellor George Osborne has issued a blunt warning over Britain's approach to crypto, arguing that regulatory caution is costing the country its place in the next wave of financial innovation. In an op-ed published by the Financial Times, Osborne accused Chancellor Rachel Reeves and Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey of falling behind global peers. 'On crypto and stablecoins, as on too many other things, the hard truth is this: We're being completely left behind,' Osborne wrote in his op-ed. 'It's time to catch up.' He likened crypto's rise to the Big Bang reforms of the 1980s that cemented London's financial dominance. Osborne also singled out the Bank of England's stablecoin policy, calling it a roadblock to innovation. Bailey, meanwhile, had earlier warned that stablecoins should not replace traditional money, and has supported rules that critics say would make sterling-pegged coins commercially unworkable. Osborne's comments follow renewed tensions between UK regulators and the industry. In the past week, UK broadcasters pulled a Coinbase ad that showed the financial system collapsing like a crumbling ceiling. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong responded Sunday. "Our ad which got banned in teh UK by the TV networks has sparked quite a reaction," he wrote on X. "If you can't say it, then there must be a kernel of truth in it." The UK has stricter rules than many jurisdictions. The Financial Conduct Authority, or FCA's, 2023 regime includes 24-hour cooling-off periods for new investors, bans referral bonuses, and restricts crypto advertising, classifying it as high-risk. CryptoUK, a digital assets trade group, echoed Osborne's concerns. There is a call for 'the recognition of stablecoins in UK law and fairer banking policies, so more digital asset companies can use the same financial services other businesses in the UK can use,' Su Carpenter, director of operations at CryptoUK, told Decrypt. She added that 'there is a real lack of recognition of how the tax framework can and will apply,' which 'has inhibited economic growth in the crypto sector.' Barclays Joins List of UK Banks Restricting Credit Card Crypto Buys Carpenter said CryptoUK has been pressing for broader access to crypto-linked investment products and continues to 'inform, educate and address policymakers' to shift the debate. While UK regulators stress stability and consumer protection, industry voices warn the country risks falling behind. FCA data from 2024 shows 12% of UK adults now hold crypto, up from 10% in 2022. Meanwhile, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Abu Dhabi have moved ahead. FCA Asks for Public Feedback on UK Crypto Legislation London-headquartered Alvara Protocol, which builds tokenized asset baskets on Ethereum and Avalanche, voiced similar frustration with the UK's regulatory gridlock. 'The UK talks a big game about being a global crypto hub, but it's still miles behind the EU's MiCA framework and even the US's chaotic, but active, approach,' Callum Mitchell-Clark, co-founder of Alvara, told Decrypt. 'Everything feels stuck in consultation mode: too slow, too cautious, and totally out of sync with how fast the industry moves.' Mitchell-Clark said the govermment's messaging hasn't matched its policy actions. 'To me, the UK's current stance sends a clear message: 'we support innovation in theory' he said. 'If the UK keeps dragging its feet, it risks becoming irrelevant while builders and capital head to places like the EU, U.S., or even Dubai.'
