Most companies think they have integrity... until they get boycotted, protested and skewered in the press. They’ll punish and apologize for lapses but have no clue about prevention.
In an interview, Rob discusses how creating a culture of integrity can clarify and energize employees to act on their values and lead.
Rob is a former Federal Prosecutor who prosecuted spy Aldrich Ames, he went on to found the Trust and Safety Department for eBay and the integrity training program for Airbnb: two companies with business models dependent on trust that had to invent the rules in the new frontiers of e-commerce and platforms.

109: Bain senior partner Sarah Elk, co-author of Doing Agile Right
The Strategy Skills Podcast: Strategy | Leadership | Critical Thinking | Problem-Solving
07/18/20 • 67 min
Strategy Skills iTunes channel episode with Bain senior partner Sarah Elk.
Global leader of Bain's Operating Model practice
Author of Doing Agile Right
Member of Bain's global governance committee for compensation and promotion
Doing Agile Right book: https://amzn.to/3fRGNw0 (paid link)
"Agile has the power to transform work--but only if it's implemented the right way.
For decades business leaders have been painfully aware of a huge chasm: They aspire to create nimble, flexible enterprises. But their day-to-day reality is silos, sluggish processes, and stalled innovation. Today, agile is hailed as the essential bridge across this chasm, with the potential to transform a company and catapult it to the head of the pack.
Not so fast. In this clear-eyed, indispensable book, Bain & Company thought leader Darrell Rigby and his colleagues Sarah Elk and Steve Berez provide a much-needed reality check. They dispel the myths and misconceptions that have accompanied agile's rise to prominence--the idea that it can reshape an organization all at once, for instance, or that it should be used in every function and for all types of work. They illustrate that agile teams can indeed be powerful, making people's jobs more rewarding and turbocharging innovation, but such results are possible only if the method is fully understood and implemented the right way.
The key, they argue, is balance. Every organization must optimize and tightly control some of its operations, and at the same time innovate. Agile, done well, enables vigorous innovation without sacrificing the efficiency and reliability essential to traditional operations. The authors break down how agile really works, show what not to do, and explain the crucial importance of scaling agile properly in order to reap its full benefit. They then lay out a road map for leading the transition to a truly agile enterprise.
Agile isn't a goal in itself; it's a means to becoming a high-performance operation. Doing Agile Right is a must-have guide for any company trying to make the transition--or trying to sustain high agility."

108: McKinsey's Tim Koller, coauthor of Valuation, leader of McKinsey Corporate Finance practice
The Strategy Skills Podcast: Strategy | Leadership | Critical Thinking | Problem-Solving
07/11/20 • 61 min
Conversation with Tim Koller, a core leader of McKinsey & Company’s Corporate Finance Practice.
“WHAT is the most influential contemporary book about the world economy? An obvious choice is Capital in the Twenty First Century, a 696 page analysis of inequality by Thomas Piketty, a French economist. There is another candidate: Valuation, an 825page manual on corporate finance and shareholder value. Some 700,000 copies of it encumber the bookshelves of MBA students, investors and chief executives around the globe...The sixth edition of Valuation, published last year, a quarter of a century after the first, is a reminder of why shareholder value is still the most powerful idea in business and why many criticisms thrown at it are unfair.” – The Economist
“A 'how-to' guide for corporate executives who want to get at the unrealized shareholder values trapped in public companies.” ―New York Times
“The book's clarity and comprehensive coverage make it one of the best practitioners' guides to valuation.” ―Financial Times
