Whistleblowing allows companies to be aware of inconvenient truths and root out issues and complacency. It promotes structured learning from mistakes and ensures issues are fully understood. Whistleblowing empowers employees to speak up without fear of repercussions and challenge those more senior if something seems wrong. It provides unique insights into a company through direct, unfiltered feedback from employees. Having a positive approach to whistleblowing signals excellence to potential employees, customers and regulators.
Should a CEO serve as a Director on other companies' Boards? From the perspective of the CEO's own Board, does having their CEO serve as a Director on other Boards contribute to or detract from their own company's performance. The answer is not always simple or clear.
Why are employees’ hesitant to reveal to the top authorities that one of their organization's product/service is a "failure" or why can't the VPs of an organization uncover to the President the absence of accomplishment of one of the organization's divisions?
Every industry has examples of entrenched and successful incumbents who were simply blind-sided by changes in their business. There are just as many examples of entrepreneurs who were undone by a lack of awareness of their competitive position. How do leaders recognize typical blindspots and what can they do to put in place structures and mechanisms to mitigate them?

Large organizations could be wasting a significant growth opportunity because of their inability to effectively collaborate with startups. These “David-Goliath” culture gaps between the two types of organizations are a major obstacle. But it is also important to recognize and address the hidden internal culture gaps between the hierarchical layers in a large organization.
But these two kinds of gaps don’t necessarily have to kill collaboration. When managed properly, organizations can bridge the divide, learn from each other and drive benefits well beyond the initial technological and market gains.

PowerUP Brilliance™ - New book for innovation leaders to sharpen adaptive can...Merom Klein
Power Up Brilliance gives take-charge innovation leaders a proven formula to lift teams above fear and complacency – because you can't do innovation unless you sell innovation, even when the easy obvious conventional answers won't get your enterprise to the next level. Surveys say that Fortune 1000 CEOs demand brilliance and creativity from their stars — but stars often find it too hard and frustrating to wrestle down the key issues and champion innovation. Despite what is emblazoned in their credos and core values, many enterprises have a bias against creativity that rewards mediocrity and conformity and makes it hard for innovators to get traction. Power Up Brilliance gives leaders a proven 5-part formula to bring out truly great thinking from other cubicles across the hall or from other centers of excellence around the globe. It says, “If you ‘get it’ and ‘see it,’ the mantle of leadership passes to you — no matter where you sit on the formal hierarchy.” The question is whether you’ll find the courage to take that mantle – and inspire courage in others when your great ideas shake their world. The 5 Courage Activators described in this book have 10+ years of solid research behind them, from Israel's innovation hotbed dozens of other success stories. Despite its research base, this is not an academic book. It’s a practical “how-to” guide, written about business leaders for business leaders - about the uphill climb that is inevitable when you have a unique brilliant perspective on innovation and when you step in, reach out and try to power up brilliance in others. Whether you are a middle manager, a project orchestrator, a technical expert or “the big boss,” Power Up Brilliance gives you tools that you can use right away to seize promising opportunities, wrestle down real issues, mobilise the right people and achieve breakthroughs rather than incremental improvements.
Entrepreneurship is as hard as it can be rewarding. Entrepreneurs make personal, professional and financial sacrifices knowing the cards are stacked against them. So what separates the failed entrepreneur from the successful?
Let's face it - the competition for top talent is fierce, and the best employees are looking for more than just a job. They want options, and they want meaning. Check out these 7 areas HR can fine tune to ensure they're attracting and keeping the right talent around.
In today’s light, succession planning is not only a must have for organizations but must also evolve and be agile to adapt to demanding and constantly changing business environments.
We need to relook into our succession planning practices, repurpose why we do it and redefine what it means as a whole. We need to put a new lens to succession planning.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. Whistleblowing
shields companies from reputational and other risks. The ability to blow the
whistle reflects shared responsibility and positive culture.
Whistleblowing is central to a company’s system of checks and
balances.
3. An individual rarely takes the decision to blow the whistle
lightly, and companies must apply the same degree of importance to
this area because they have just as much to win or lose. By taking
a positive approach companies can show respect towards their
employees and demonstrate an appetite for continuous improvement.
Whistleblowers speak-up because they refuse to give up on their
company. They have faith that the company will listen to their
concerns and that lessons will be learned. Companies can mirror
this optimism if they start by recognising the five benefits of
whistleblowing and then follow our five point action plan.
6. Whistleblowing is an essential last line of defense in companies’
systems of internal control, and it is a weapon to root out
complacency and inertia. Whistleblowing gives companies a chance to
receive direct and raw feedback that is untainted by self-interest
and unfiltered by management. The usual language and diplomacy of the
workplace is suspended. Whistleblowers can be candid, frank and
fearless.
Whistleblowing can concern matters that were previously unknown to
the company, or it can ensure that the seriousness and extent of a
known issue is fully understood. Whistleblowing may be retrospective
about things which have already gone wrong, or provide the wake-up
call that prevents a crisis from occurring. Early intervention is the
best form of damage limitation.

8. Companies prepare for the future by anticipating future needs and
investing in the knowledge and skills of their staff. Companies
also need to be learning organization's. Whistleblowing forces
companies to pause, take stock and learn difficult lessons.
The Black Box
An air crash is a personal tragedy and it could spell reputational
disaster and commercial ruin for the airline or an aircraft
manufacturer. Comprehensive investigations and subsequent safety
recommendations are designed to ensure that errors are never
repeated.
10. Modern management encourages subordinates to challenge their
superiors, but this has limits. It is natural for employees to be
concerned about how they are perceived because of their
superiors’ power to decide their remuneration, promotion
prospects, and the continuation or termination of their
employment. This tension explains why whistleblowing is a
particularly valuable method of feedback. It allows subordinates
to speak up without fear of repercussions or having to fully
justify everything they say. Whistleblowers can challenge their
seniors and experts if they sense something is wrong, even if
they have less knowledge or information.
Permission to speak
The emergency services and the military operate on the basis of
particularly rigid hierarchies. However, this is balanced with an
ability for subordinates to speak up in life-or-death situations.
Oversight of the care for vulnerable children and adults is
dependent upon whistleblowing Companies’ investment in employees
will be wasted unless the importance of whistleblowing is
acknowledged. Whistleblowing is an important complement to
12. Whistleblowing provides a window on the business that would not exist in any
other way. It is the equivalent of a doctor asking a patient to stick out
their tongue.
Company boards may struggle to know whether significant year-on-year
increases or decreases in the number of whistleblowing reports signal
improvement or failure. A rise can be attributed to greater awareness or to
a deterioration in management, and a decrease can similarly be interpreted
as success or failure. Whistleblowing does not tend to lend itself to a
binary approach. In fact, boards face similar challenges in how to interpret
information about other areas. For example, some companies with high
employee turnover celebrate their investment in people and the growth of
their network and influence, while other companies turn inward to mourn the
losses and panic that they may be unable to attract fresh talent. What is
important is the debate, not necessarily whether clear conclusions are
reached.
Difficult conversations
Mandatory publication of gender pay gaps has prompted new and profound discussions about distribution of
wealth, division of power and the future of work. Publication of ratios which compare CEO pay with the pay of
others at the same company and comparisons between different ethnic groups are adding new perspectives and
depth to this conversation.
14. Generation Y takes a different attitude to work compared with
their parents or grandparents and questions the status quo. The
egalitarian nature of whistleblowing is appealing.
A positive approach to whistleblowing will inspire confidence in
employees, customers, suppliers and regulators. Sophisticated job
applicants, aspiring directors and others may ask companies if
they are confident that their approach to whistleblowing is
sound. 360° Protect (formerly Public Concern at Work) offers
companies a framework for assessing their whistleblowing
arrangements. A comparison is made with similar companies in
terms of sector, size and country or countries of operation. The
assessment is broken down into three segments: staff engagement,
effective operations and governance. Importantly, the number of
whistleblowing reports does not influence scores. What lies
behind the number is more important
