Very basic question on conjunctions from manhattan foundation book
The company's leadership began to falter after the board disagreed sharply over executive bonuses.
Here the 2nd clause board disagreed sharply over executive bonuses, is dependent clause, because "after" the subordinate conjunction is linked with 2nd clause.
My question is why can't i read the sentence as if after is connected with 1st clause and say that 1st clause is dependent
The company's leadership began to falter after....

Actually, the two clauses here are:
i) The company's leadership began to falter - Independent clause
ii) after the board disagreed sharply over executive bonuses - Dependent clause (using subordinating conjunction after)
You can watch our video on Independent and Dependent Clauses.
p.s. Our book EducationAisle Sentence Correction Nirvana discusses Independent and Dependent Clauses, their application and examples in significant detail. If you or someone is interested, PM me your email-id; I can mail the corresponding section.

Thanks for the response.
Isn't the clause
"The board disagreed sharply over executive bonuses"
is also an independent clause.
