In this fourth and final episode for 2021 of The Ethics and Compliance Library, host Lauren Siegel explores “No Rules, Rules” by Reed Hastings and Erin Meyer. The book is all about Netflix’s culture, and you guessed it, the lack of rules they have. Many have read the public culture deck that Netflix shared a few years back, but many who have not read this book may not understand it. From generous severance packages to informed captains, the way that Netflix functions is unique. This book lays out how they have built their culture and how that has lead to their success and gives us an inside look at brand we all know so well. Siegel gives an overview and analysis of the book and then interviews Asha Palmer, Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer and EVP of Converge at Convercent by OneTrust. Her interview with Palmer brings the book to life for E&C leaders and challenges us all to think about the industry differently. As always, they continue the conversation in the Converge community.

In this episode of The Ethics and Compliance Library Podcast features ‘The Smartest Guys in the Room,’ by Peter Elkind and Bethany McLean. After discussing the Enron scandal, host Lauren Siegel interviews Peter followed by Sherron Watkins, the Enron whistleblower. Many have either read the book or watched the documentary and know the ins and outs of this scandal, but this episode takes it a step further than what you may already know. It explores the failures of the system, not just of the company, diving into speak up culture and how to avoid becoming the next Enron. As you listen, ask yourself how you are building a culture of trust internally. Ask yourself whether your organization is asking the necessary questions of leadership and employees. Ask yourself if the tone from the top is one encouraging that trust and questioning. This case study is not just for Ethics and Compliance leaders, but also leadership and all employees alike. The conversation will continue for all in the CONVERGE Community. You can also check out the topic and issues in the CONVERGE thread here. You can also mention the CONVERGE thread.

In episode 2 of the Ethics and Compliance Library, we will analyze Giving Voice to Values by Mary Gentile. Giving Voice to Values, or GVV, not only explores how each of us can prepare to voice our values in different situations, why we do and don’t, but also sets up a framework with tools for how to strengthen the muscle for doing so. Through an interview with Dr. Mary Gentile herself as well as an interview with E&C leader, Blair Marks of Lockheed Martin, we will begin to uncover not only how to action this practice as individuals, but how and why it is invaluable to do so at the organizational level. Listeners can expect to better understand the framework laid out in Giving Voice to Values and have some actionable take-aways for how to implement that framework as an individual looking to more consistently step into voicing their values, and as leaders looking to positively impact our organizations.

It is easy to look around the business world, or really our everyday world even, and wonder how we could possibly voice our values. Stifled by regulations and pressures from managers and peers, our values are so easily brushed under the rug. What are our values, even? I would encourage all listeners to first think about what key values they feel most connected to in their life. These will change over time, but often are deeply tied to who we are as family members, friends, employees, and global citizens. For me, one of those values is honesty, another, vulnerability. What are your values? What are your organization’s values? Now, place yourself in a though experiment and explicitly ask yourself: “what if you were going to act on your values – what would you say and do.” Dr. Gentile continuously asks this and helps to equip us with a toolkit to “grease the skids that might carry us there,” there being the place where we can effectively voice our values, “sidestepping all the preemptive arguments and rationalizations that pop up naturally, about how difficult or even impossible it may be to do so.” -
In episode 1 of the Ethics and Compliance Library, we will analyze Blind Spots by Ann Tenbrunsel and Max Bazerman.
Blind Spots explores behavioral ethics from the individual, organizational, and societal levels, setting up a framework for evaluating decisions, morals, and the world around us. The book kicks off by asking readers to evaluate their ethicality compared to others on a scale of 1 to 100. If we aggregated all the scores each of this podcast’s listeners gave themselves, studies show we would average higher than 50, even though the average should be 50. This alerts us to blind spots that exist in our ethicality.
Through an interview with Dr. Ann Tenbrunsel herself as well as an interview with thought leader, Philip Winterburn of Convercent, we will begin to uncover what those blind spots are, why they exist, and how we move beyond them. Listeners can expect to better understand the framework laid out in Blind Spots and have some actionable take-aways for how to implement that framework at the three levels.
