‘Stop talking about bringing your values to work and learn how to actually DO it!’ – Kim Scott, bestselling author of Radical Candor
Intentional Integrity, by Silicon Valley expert Rob Chestnut, provides an excellent road map for any organization looking to create a clear set of values to live by.
The year 2020 triggered consumers to re-evaluate their relationship with brands in general, leading to customers prioritizing those seen to be ‘doing good’ or ‘being helpful’ in the context of the pandemic. There is a strong sentiment that businesses have a big part to play in helping society recover and a purpose-driven organization will likely have the edge. In the midst of a year of crisis, there is an opportunity for companies to re-evaluate how their businesses operate. The power to act with integrity is the key to developing this culture.
Drawing on his background as former General Counsel for Airbnb, Rob Chesnut explains the rationale and legal context for the ethics and practices, and presents scenarios to illuminate the nuances of thinking deeply and objectively about workplace culture. Intentional Integrity is the handbook to revolutionizing your workplace by providing the right environment for people to do good work.
‘Smart, practical advice for anyone looking to do good and do well’ – Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn and author of Blitzscaling
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
With this strong debut, Chesnut, general counsel of Airbnb, confronts a question he sees facing today's most successful tech companies: having built strong services, products, and workforces during their rise to the top, how do they now use those tools ethically? Paying lip service to "values" and "accountability," he says, is no longer enough; organizations need to make a concerted effort to articulate and prioritize their values, develop rules to ensure those values are implemented, and then make sure they're respected throughout the company. Having productive leaders and good intentions isn't enough; bad actors can destroy the best of efforts, Chesnut writes, and when the world is watching, trust is critical. Chesnut covers navigating the corporate culture shock that ensues when an ethical breach goes public, managing the aftereffects of bad behavior, identifying common integrity issues, avoiding issues in the first place, and implementing both clear and safe whistleblowing processes and appropriate consequences for violators. This is the rare fully realized look at not just what integrity means in the context of business, but how to make it second nature in the workplace. Business leaders should take note.
