Taking bold action is part of leadership. But for business executives, there’s a difference between strategic risk and crossing the legal line. A recent article noted that many U.S. executives tend to push the envelope when it comes to legality. While that may feel like innovation, it can have devastating consequences.
Fiduciary Duty and Borderline Decisions
Every executive owes a fiduciary duty to their partners and shareholders. This means acting in good faith and in the best interests of the business.
When leaders make decisions that are borderline illegal, they risk:
- Allegations of breaching fiduciary duty
- Exposure to regulatory investigations
- Costly litigation from partners or shareholders
Why Litigation Is Not Growth
Litigation may be part of doing business, but it is not growth. Legal disputes drain resources, distract leadership, and damage reputations. Even successful businesses suffer when dragged into court battles.

- Step in early to resolve disputes before they escalate
- Intervene when actions could be perceived as crossing legal boundaries
