  • Exploring Accountability and Culture in Corporate Leadership
    Mar 21 2025
    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. She discusses the critical importance of listening, asking powerful questions, and continuous self-development in achieving professional and personal growth. 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.

  • Preventing and Fixing a Cultural Disconnect
    Mar 13 2025
    It is always interesting when the regulators catch up to the business world. That is what has happened around corporate culture. The DOJ 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 podcast series, Sam Silverstein, the most trusted voice in America on accountability, and Tom Fox, the Voice of Compliance, look at how companies can elevate their culture to new heights. In this episode, Tom and Sam conclude their 3-part series on the increased importance of compliance after Trump’s Executive Order suspending FCPA enforcement. Part 3 of the crucial aspects of corporate culture and ethics are detailed in the L.R.N. Ethics and Compliance Program Effectiveness Report. We explore why lower-level employees often perceive management as insincere about ethical values, not due to grand crimes like bribery or corruption but because of smaller, more personal issues like unfair treatment and lack of transparency. Sam emphasizes that even minor inconsistencies can erode trust, leading to a lack of safety and increased employee suspicion. They detail practical steps for middle and senior management to enhance their communication and engagement skills, with an overarching message that culture must be diligently maintained to build a high-performance organization.
