Richard Lummis is on assignment this week so I am pleased to host Nick Gallo, co-CEO of ComplianceLine for a special episode. In this episode Nick and I take a deep dive into Doris Kearns Goodwin’s class Doris Kearns Goodwin Teaches U.S. Presidential History and Leadership, where Pulitzer Prize–winning biographer Doris Kearns Goodwin teaches you how to develop the leadership qualities of exceptional American presidents. In her class, Goodwin shares how some of the greatest presidents have made consequential decisions and how we can use their approach in our own lives. She also talks about how to heal divisions and build consensus. MasterClass is an immersive online experience that offers access to genius by allowing anyone to take online classes with the world’s best leaders, instructors and commentators. MasterClass produces the courses directly with the instructors to capture exactly what the masters want to teach. I highly recommend their classes as a great learning tool.

Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. In this episode Matt Kelly and Tom Fox take a look at two examples of ham-fisted leadership; one by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and the second by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Both also had to respond to employee near revolts over their poor leadership. For Zuckerberg it was his refusal to stop President Trump’s incendiary and race-bait tweeting. For Goodell, it was lack of acknowledge of the racist murder of George Floyd.

In a world that has been turned upside down, should you be totally transparent with your boss right now or should you put on the façade of perfection? In today’s episode (which ironically was recorded months ago), we are discussing transparency in the workplace. Some people love it. Some people hate it. Let’s see if you change your mind after today’s discussion! I am incredibly excited to have Jennifer Janechek with me on this episode. Jennifer is the director of content strategy at Sound Wisdom. She has her PhD in English literature from the University of Iowa. Feel free to reach out to her at JenniferJ@soundwisdom.com.

Jerry Dent is the Practice Leader and Managing Director at Alvarez and Marsal. He joins host Vince Walden to talk about leadership and team communication during times of crisis. One positive thing that arose from the outbreak was that the US and Europe recognized they had a narrow window of preparation from studying the situation in China. Alvarez and Marsal were able to prepare to have an infrastructure that supported a remote environment. He gives examples of what his company is doing to maintain connectivity and productivity across all professional levels, and keep their employees engaged.
The challenge for those in legal and compliance would be the pivot from face-to-face meetings or sessions such as site inspections, interviews, and court appearances. Jerry has faith that quick adaptation will occur. Four risks that are critical due to the switch to a remote environment are: cyber predators, social media and employee conduct, data protection and privacy, and employee engagement and connectivity.
Jerry stresses that we have all been dealt the same hand, businesses included, so no one business has any huge advantage over another. During a crisis, it comes down to a company’s culture and communication to keep it afloat.

Given the paucity of leadership coming out of Washington during this crisis, I thought it would be a ripe time to consider some innovations in compliance leadership. While many compliance departments may have begun more as a command and control function, set up by lawyers to comply with anti-bribery laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), this type of leadership model is now becoming outmoded in today’s world. It is not that employees are interested in the ‘why’ they should do business ethically and in compliance with such laws but it is more that power is shifting inside corporations. As the compliance profession matures, it will become more a component of a company’s business function. This means less of a lawyer’s top down mentality of do it because I said to do it, to more collaboration.
Three key takeaways:

Today’s employees are much more likely to engage better, stay longer, and perform better for leaders who are invested in their personal and professional goals.
How do you do that?
In today’s episode I’m sharing with you my simple and very effective goal setting process: Lay Down the Law. This process can be used, with a few tweaks, for yourself, even your kids…but today’s focus is your employees.
As you work through this process with your employees, they will see and feel your investment in them and more of than not, they’re going to give that investment back to you tenfold.
Take your leadership results to the next level by laying down the law with your people today!
