Battling Global Corruption and Promoting Integrity with Lisa Ventura


Lisa Ventura is the Practice Lead in the Partnering Against Corruption Initiative (PACI) with the World Economic Forum, and this week’s guest. For over 6 years, she has worked with the Forum, focusing on business, human rights, and combining profit with purpose. She joins Vince Walden to discuss how the Forum deals with global corruption and promotes integrity.

The World Economic Forum is an international organization for private-public cooperation whose goal is to bring businesses, governments, and civil societies together to address a wide array of issues. PACI is a platform in the global anti-corruption arena that puts emphasis on public-private cooperation, responsible leadership, and technological advances. Their agenda is to leverage the tone from the top to change how companies operate and build a corporate culture of ethics and integrity. 
There are four pillars of the agenda for business integrity: commitment to ethics and integrity beyond compliance; the strengthening of corporate culture and incentives to drive continuous learning and improvements; the leveraging of technologies to reduce the scope of corruption; and the supporting of collective action to increase scale and impact.
Global corruption levels are expected to rise as a result of the rising pressure caused by the pandemic. Lisa recommends appointing leaders who think of integrity as essential as a way to combat it.

Leadership Lessons from Theodore Roosevelt-the Early Years


Richard Lummis and Tom Fox begin a five-part series on leadership lessons from Theodore Roosevelt. We will look at lessons from Roosevelt’s early years in New York up to his cowboying days in Montana; the second phase of his public career, from NYC Police Commission to Assistant Secretary of the Navy, San Juan Hill and the Vice Presidency; his leadership from his Presidency; his life in the post-Presidency and the election of 1912 and we will end with leadership lessons from his post Bull Moose Party life, World War I and event surrounding his death. In this first episode, we consider the leadership lessons learned by Roosevelt from his parents, his sickly childhood, initial forays into public life, widowhood and cowboying in Montana.
Highlights of this podcast include:
Roosevelt’s parents, his upbringing, education and early book publishing. Roosevelt’s widowhood in his early 20s and his election to the New York State Assembly. From the Presidential election of 1884, up to his cowboying in Dakota. We conclude with three key leadership lessons, including 1. The beginning of his lifelong learning; 2. How he came to view merit, not privilege as the key to advancement, and 3. How hard work is required to be a great leader.
