Episodes

  1. Speed = Value

    The speed at which information travels tells you the value of that information for the organization.

  2. Ep. 16 - Welcoming new employees

    If you lead a group, department, or function, consider inviting every new employee to meet with you in person soon after they join. The benefits for you, them, and the organization can be significant.

  3. Ep. 15 - Vulnerability: an essential ingredient of the speak-up culture

    Want your employees to have the courage to speak up? Consider showing your own vulnerability.

  4. Episode 14 - Giving - An ethical scale

    Should companies ask their employees and suppliers to give to charity?

  5. Episode 13 - Bullying

    In this episode, I share my answer to a colleague who asked me what could be done to address bullying in the workplace.

  6. A practical approach to ethical leadership

    Being an ethical leader is not as difficult as it may sound. In this episode, I share a simple process to produce immediate results.

  7. Reboot

    I’ve decided to reboot the podcast and try something with a different sound. This is the trailer. New episodes coming soon.

  8. Ep. 10 - Go talk to the ECO

    Ethics and compliance officers should not let managers avoid their responsibility of owning ethics and compliance.

  9. Ep. 9 - Culture and habits

    Culture is an outcome of our habits. So what’s the best way of changing our culture?

  10. Ep. 8 - Al Capone and cover-up

    We’ve heard it before: it’s not the crime, it’s the cover-up.

  11. Ep. 7 - Reserving judgment

    Being judgmental is rarely helpful and should especially be avoided when interviewing employees during an investigation.

  12. Ep. 6 - Sell to the sellable

    Good sales people focus their efforts on those who are willing to buy. How does this apply to ethics & compliance officers selling the importance of an ethical culture?

  13. Ep. 5 - Assume, unexpectedly

    Most people are good but most will compromise their standards. Can you hold these two ideas in your mind at the same time?

  14. Ep. 4 - Are you selling or serving?

    The best salespeople truly believe in what they sell and buyers feel privileged by the opportunity to buy. As an ethics & compliance officer, is the business willing to buy from you?

  15. Ep. 3 - Strength in diversity

    My thoughts on why a team of male-only engineers doesn't make any sense.

  16. Ep. 2 - CEO's Daily Brief

    If the President of the United States gets a daily briefing on matters of national security, why are most CEOs not briefed daily on matters of corporate ethics?

  17. Ep. 1 - Soft drip or big boom?

    A drip approach to the launch of a Code of Ethics
