Others have mentioned this but to reiterate: imagine a WeWork location should move to a larger space, but the CEO doesn't own a sufficiently large space.

At this point the CEO has a conflict of interest: on the one hand, he should move the location, because that's best for WeWork; on the other hand, he should keep it where it is because that's best for his real-estate company.

There are many potential conflicts but that's probably the easiest to use as an illustration.
