Honesty at Work 101: What being an FBI informant taught Tom Hardin about creating a culture of truth

Dela

Tom Hardin was a rising hedge fund analyst making good money in New York City when he decided to make a few trades on inside information. 

Then the FBI tailed him at 6:30 AM outside his dry cleaner. In the 18 months that followed, he wore a wire more than 40 times as an informant in the largest insider trading investigation in US history.

What he learned about getting people to finally share what they've been hiding is something no management book has ever taught.

Topic Highlights:

– The three meeting sequence that gets people to stop performing and start telling the truth

– The 10/80/10 model and why the 80% in the middle will follow what the leading 10% does

– How unclear goals create the conditions for ethical drift without anyone noticing

– Why not understanding the difference between a mistake and a bad decision is often how cover-ups start

Guest Bio:

Tom Hardin is “Tipper X,” the FBI's most prolific cooperating informant in Operation Perfect Hedge, and the author of Wired on Wall Street.
