Understanding Complexity with Dr. Jean Boulton, Part 2: The Power of Simple Principles in Ethics and Compliance
Welcome to the SBR – Authors Podcast! In this podcast series, host Tom Fox visits with authors in the compliance arena and beyond. Today, Tom’s friend and colleague Earnie Broughton joins him in co-hosting Dr. Jean Boulton, the author of The Dao of Complexity. This concludes Part 2 of a special two-part SBR – Authors Podcast episode.
In episode 2, Tom, Earnie, and Dr. Boulton explore the intricate balance between simple rules and simple principles within corporate compliance and ethics. Their discussion highlights the limitations of relying solely on rigid rule systems, especially in complex and evolving environments. We emphasize the importance of establishing shared principles and values, which serve as a more adaptable foundation for ethical decision-making. Drawing on real-world examples from healthcare and education, we explore how fostering a culture of trust, collaboration, and ethical behavior can lead to more sustainable and effective outcomes. Key takeaways include the significance of a ‘speak up’ culture, the role of leadership in building trust, and the necessity of addressing root causes to drive meaningful change.
