Great Women in Compliance: Amy Hanan – ‘Relentless Curiosity’ in Life and Work

While marketing professionals typically operate “behind the curtain,” Amy Hanan is taking center stage these days.

Honing her professional skills—and her people skills—along the way, Hanan has blazed a trail in a niche where her passion for compliance and ethics serves her well.

Trekking Through Compliance – Episode 45 – Leadership Lessons from The Gamesters of Triskelion

In this episode of Trekking Through Compliance, we consider the episode The Gamesters of Triskelion, which aired on January 5, 1968, and occurred on Star Date 3211.7.

Kirk, Uhura, and Chekov prepare to beam down to Gamma 2 and are whisked away from the transporter platform. They are captured and fitted with “collars of obedience” by Galt, master Thrall of the planet Triskelion. Spock finds them 11.630 light-years away but is prevented from beaming down.

The providers who started all this threaten to destroy Kirk and the Enterprise, but Kirk makes a bet with the gamekeepers about his ability to survive in combat. If he wins, the Providers must free Kirk and the Thralls. If he loses, he offers the entire Enterprise crew up as Thralls. Amazingly enough, Kirk wins, even after one of the opponents is replaced by Shahna. Kirk, Chekov, and Uhura are returned to the Enterprise, leaving behind a saddened Shahna.

Commentary

The episode features Captain Kirk, Uhura, and Chekov being abducted to a planet where they are forced to participate in gladiatorial games run by the Providers. Fox delves into the storyline, discussing key plot points and the leadership and ethical lessons that can be drawn, such as ethical decision-making, effective communication, empowerment, resilience, and collaborative problem-solving. Additionally, a fun fact reveals that Sulu was initially intended to be a significant character in the episode, but George Takei’s filming commitments for ‘The Green Berets’ precluded his participation. The episode is examined for its mix of serious and lighthearted elements and Biblical allusions. Fox ties these elements back to modern compliance and leadership practices, offering valuable insights for compliance leaders.

After Kirk finds that tribbles have spread aboard the Enterprise through air vents, he becomes concerned that they may have also infested the grain storage lockers on the space station.

When the station transporter room is being cleared of tribbles, one of them yelps at Baris’s assistant Darvin. Kirk verifies that Yelp for Klingons.

Trekking Through Compliance – Episode 43 – Ethical Lessons from Wolf in the Fold

In this episode of Trekking Through Compliance, we consider the episode Wolf in the Fold, which aired on December 22, 1967, with a Star Date of 3614.9.

Scotty, Kirk, and McCoy beam down to Orgellius II for shore leave when Mr. Scott is accused of murder. His fingerprints are the only ones on the murder weapon, and he has a concussion and amnesia.

Mr. Scott claims that he felt the presence of a foul, cold, evil creature. A search of crime records shows the following pattern of unsolved mass murders: 1932 Shanghai, 1974 Kiev, 2105 Martian colony, and 2156 Heliopolis on Alpha Eridani 2. To avoid making the creature stronger by allowing him to feed off the crew’s fear, McCoy injects everyone with a tranquilizer. The creature returns to Hengist’s body. However, Hengist is quickly subdued and tranquilized, and Spock transports him into space with the widest possible separation. Kirk and Spock must wait 6 hours for the tranquilizer to wear off their extremely “happy” crew.

Commentary

The episode revolves around Scotty being accused of murder while on shore leave on Orgalius II. The investigation reveals the presence of a malevolent entity capable of possession and murder. Tom Fox discusses five key ethical lessons from the episode: the presumption of innocence, objectivity, and impartiality in investigations, respecting cultural differences, the ethical use of emerging technologies, and accountability and responsibility. These lessons can help compliance professionals strengthen their programs and promote fair and impartial practices within organizations.

Trekking Through Compliance – Episode 41 – Leadership Lessons from The Deadly Years

In this episode of Trekking Through Compliance, we consider the episode The Deadly Years, which aired on December 8, 1967, with a Star Date of 3478.2.

When Chekov, Spock, Lt. Gallway, McCoy, Kirk, and Scotty beam down to resupply the experimental colony on Gamma Hydra 4, they initially find no one home. They see the leader, Robert Johnson, and his wife, Elaine. Both appear to be extremely old. Kirk beams the landing party up together with those of the colonists who are still alive. Aboard the Enterprise, the colonists die of old age.

Kirk then begins to lose his memory and displays advanced arthritis. Commodore Stocker becomes increasingly concerned about Kirk’s condition and forces Spock to hold a competency hearing. Kirk is found incompetent, and Commodore Stocker takes over. An injection containing adrenaline, used on Kirk and the shot, is compelling. Kirk assumes back control of the Enterprise, which is now under attack by the Romulans thanks to Stocker’s incompetence in violating the Neutral Zone.

Using an old subterfuge, Kirk transmits a message that he will destroy the Enterprise using a corbomite device. The Romulans give a little ground lest they be destroyed in the upcoming explosion, and Kirk immediately races out of the Neutral Zone and into Federation space at Warp 8.

Commentary

The episode features the Enterprise crew grappling with a rapidly aging affliction after an encounter on Gamma Hydra 4. Fox uses the plot as a springboard to discuss crucial compliance and leadership lessons, emphasizing the importance of tone at the top, robust internal controls, empowering whistleblowers, and maintaining transparency and accountability. He argues that these principles are essential for creating a resilient, ethical organization.

Key Highlights

  • The Aging Mystery Unfolds
  • Kirk’s Clever Strategy
  • Reflections on Illness and Aging
  • Leadership Lessons for Compliance Professionals
