Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. This week Matt and Tom take a deep dive into the fiasco around the formation of the Super League in European Football (soccer), focusing on the role of John Henry, American owner of the Liverpool Football Club and the lessons for the (American) compliance professional.  Some of the issues we consider are:

  • How do you make a cultural change?
  • Why it is mandatory to engage stakeholder in any discussions around cultural change?
  • What makes stakeholder want to follow a corp leader?
  • Why empathy is a mandatory leadership trait for any successful CEO.
  • Why understanding corporate subcultures outside the US is mandatory for the CCO.
