Leadership Lessons from George Washington-Presidential Years

Richard Lummis and Tom Fox conclude our four-part series on leadership lessons from George Washington. We will look at lessons from Washington’s colonial and frontier period, focusing on the French and Indian War, leadership lessons from Washington’s generalship of the Continental Army, his leadership in both the Continental Congress and Constitutional Convention and we will end with leadership lessons from both terms of Washington’s presidency. In this fourth and concluding episode, we consider the leadership lessons demonstrated by Washington during his two terms as the first President of the United States.
Highlights of this podcast include:

  1. Introduction into Washington’s two terms as President.
  2. A team of rivals? How did he manage them?
  3. Leading by example, yet in a measured and nuanced manner-the Whiskey Rebellion.
  4. Foreign Affairs-Citizen Genet and Jay Treaty with Britain.
  5. Farewell Address-how did this encapsulate Washington’s leadership?
  6. Final thoughts on leadership lessons still relevant today from George Washington.

Picard- Episode 10, Et in Arcadia Ego Part 2


Welcome to a special series of Trekking Through Compliance, the podcast series inspired by my review of Star Trek, the Original Series. In this special series I am joined by another uber Star Trek maven, Megan Dougherty, co-founder of One Stone Creative. In this series we will review the new television show Picardwhich is currently streaming on CBS. Today, Episode 10, “Et in Arcadia Ego-Part 2”.
SPOILER ALERT-Although we will review each episode after it appears, we will discuss each episode in depth.
Episode 10, Et in Arcadia Ego-Part 2. Jurati uses subterfuge to free Picard from house arrest. Narek allies with Rios and Raffi to destroy the beacon calling the super-synths to the planet. They head into the settlement while Picard and Jurati go to the now empty Rios and take off to thy and hold off the Romulan fleet. On the Artifact (Borg Cube) 7/9 finds Narissa trying to activate weapons on the cube and kills her after a fight (for Hugh). Elnor, Rios, Raffi and Narek go into the settlement to try and destroy the beacon. Picard and Jurati fly up to meet the Romulan fleet and perform a variation of the Picard Maneuver. General Oh gives the order to “sterilize the entire planet but Picard (and the Orchids) distract her long enough for Riker and the Fleet to arrive and save the day. Picard’s terminal condition arrives and he dies after saving the planet. He meets Data who asks to “die”. Picard, resurrected as a synth obliges. The crew of the La Serena flies off for new adventures.
Highlights, speculations and questions include:

  1. Homage to the Picard Maneuver (again)?
  2. Campfire setting Narek tells the story of Gambadan.
  3. Were Elnor, Rios and Raffi right to ally with Narek?
  4. Why did Picard offer to sacrifice himself (and Jurati) for the synths?
  5. How did Soji get to the right choice?
  6. Arrival of the cavalry with Riker in charge.
  7. Death of Picard and Data.
  8. Picard as a synth.
  9. Off to new adventures?
  10. Cookies

Reinventing Identity and Access Management Based on Mathematical Principles from the Stars with Jonathan Nystrom


Jonathan Nystrom is the CEO of Intensity Analytics, and this week’s guest. He joins Vince Walden to talk about his company’s program, TickStream, which uses astronomical principles to protect virtual identity. Identity is the bedrock on which virtually everything in our world operates, Jonathan says. It affects every facet of a company, and while the IT department plays a big role, it is management’s job to establish it. How we protect identity today is a conglomeration of rules that our adversaries will learn to break if we continue to do things the same way. 

There are 300 billion passwords currently in use and most of them have no protection in terms of multi-factor authentication. More than 80% of breaches occur as a result of stolen credentials. Intensity Analytics has developed a solution that enables systems to recognize you based on your unique password typing frequency. It is an added layer of authentication security that proves your identity rather than proving you possess access to your account. The algorithms were developed using insights from astronomy, and are now patented as a part of a core of the technology. It doesn’t even need to know your password, Jonathan says, just how you type it. Attempting to use other principles left it prey to a mathematical limitation called the Curse of Dimensionality, which comes up when comparing an infinite number of items to determine similarities. 
This technology falls under the category of movement biometrics, which are more reliable than standard biometrics. Movement is being captured at a microscopic level, preventing the possibility of anyone else successfully impersonating you.

The Integrity Audit


Yet another way to consider using audit for continuous improvement is through the Integrity Audit. Mary Jo White in an article entitled “What I’ve Learned About White Collar Crime” provided insight into not only white-collar criminals but the integrity of companies. Her framework lays out a way for you to think through an underutilized tool for continuous improvement, the integrity audit.When Mary Jo White or Jonathan Marks write, you need to read, digest what they have to say and implement their suggestions. The ideas that they forward are not new, revolutionary or in the least bit controversial. Yet integrity is not often considered by compliance professionals. With the Business Roundtable’s Statement of Corporate Purpose integrity has been driven to the forefront in the rasion d’etre of a corporation. Failing to have integrity at the top or down through your organization can lead to significant corporate calamity.
Three key takeaways:

  1. The Integrity Audit is an underutilized tool.
  2. Ego and arrogance at the CEO level can lead to catastrophic corporate failures.
  3. A robust report culture can demonstrate and facilitate corporate integrity.

Anastasia Savvateeva-Global Compliance is a New Adventure Every Day


Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley. In this episode of Great Women in Compliance, Lisa speaks with Anastasia Savvateeva.  This episode was recorded before the COVID-19 pandemic, and Anastasia had not yet started her new role as Senior Compliance Officer at Pictet Group.
Anastasia is a globetrotter – she was born in Ukraine, moved to Moscow, and received education and started her compliance career in France, before moving to Luxembourg earlier this year.  Anastasia’s global perspective, particularly working in France, is one that is valuable for any of us that are trying to build a compliance community in a global organization.
Anastasia just completed a role at Deutsche Bank and she experienced working in a compliance department that is now under pressure from a very public compliance issue.
In a time where many compliance officers wear many hats, Anastasia talks about the many roles we have every day – and compares them to some unforgettable characters in books and movies.  There are some really fun analogies, and maybe provides they provide some ideas for your enjoyment during this time of staying at home.
