Nick Gallo on the Controls Paradox [Podcast]

By Adam Turteltaub

In a recent issue of Compliance & Ethics Professional ®, Nick Gallo, Chief Servant and Co-CEO of Ethico addressed the control paradox, a situation in which the controls designed to prevent misconduct, actually encourage it. Think of it like the person whose car has so many airbags that they no longer fear an accident and drive quicker.

So what’s the solution? He argues it’s creating an environment where we have faith in controls, but not too much, and focus on helping those on the front line make the right decisions. That includes, he says, teaching not just what you should do but why. It also means encouraging ownership of ethical issues, not outsourcing it.

Listen in to learn more about how to get better control on your controls.
