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.

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.
Mary’s first guest of this season is Samantha Kelen appearing in “Let’s Get Real”. The two GWIC have gotten to know each other through their volunteer work on the leadership team of Compliance Career Connection, another wonderful example of how when you choose to send the elevator back down, inevitably you will be enriched as well. Sam’s episode has a focus on being genuine, authentic and quite simply, human in this week’s episode, not only in respect of being a Compliance professional, which is a fairly commonly accepted key to being successful in the field, but also as a leader in Compliance with responsibility setting tone and a role modeling example for a team.
Samantha and Mary discuss some of the limitations of the concept of bringing your whole self to work, how vulnerability needs to be tempered with a filter and maintaining some semblance of professionalism. They also talk about how women oftentimes need to consider the repercussions about being direct or offering alternative opinions as coming across negatively, fairly or not.
