Culture Crafters – Exploring Accountability and Culture in Corporate Leadership

It is always interesting when the regulators catch up to the business world. That is what has happened around corporate culture. The Department of Justice is now assessing corporate culture for any company under investigation. Yet, more than simply complying with this mandate, companies should strive to foster the best culture that they can achieve. The reason is deceptively simple—the better the culture, the better the company. However, many business executives and even compliance professionals do not know how to craft a culture that allows your employees and your organization to implement such strategies. How can you unlock the power of a thriving workplace culture?

In this episode, Tom welcomes Sam Silverstein and introduces Tara Stone, the Director of Client Success at Sam Silverstein, Inc. Tara shares her entrepreneurial journey, from selling golf balls as a child to running multiple businesses, before transitioning into her current role.

Sam highlights the vital role of workplace culture in organizational success and elaborates on the Fractional Chief Culture Officer program aimed at helping businesses build high-performing, sustainable cultures. Tara also emphasizes the value of investing in oneself and the impact of personal development on all aspects of life. The episode provides invaluable insights for corporate compliance officers and other leaders looking to foster accountability and strong relationships within their organizations.

Accountability: The Heart of Compliance

The Accountability Assessment


We have been getting accountability all wrong in the compliance profession. It’s not a set of tasks – it’s a way of thinking and it has to come from the heart as well as the head. On Accountability: The Heart of Compliance Tom Fox and Sam Silverstein dig into what accountability means to the corporate compliance function and business organizations and most significantly, how to make it an integral part of your culture. In this episode Sam and I, talk about the Accountability Assessment. Some of the highlights include:
·      The Accountability Assessment creates a baseline by which you can create a roadmap.
·      You can benchmark against your Accountability Assessment for continuous improvement.
·      An Accountability Assessment can identify gaps in your corporate culture.
