Recently, in our compliance world, we’ve seen a much greater discussion on whistleblowing, but also on how to encourage a “speak up” culture. And when I think about speaking up, I’m not only considering speaking up about the risks we might witness or observe, but also about ourselves
In fact, I think that quite often the hardest people to speak up about are ourselves, especially where we might harbor rationalizations, assumptions, or other internalized debates around pressure and what management really wants and expects.
