Episode Description

Most companies think they have integrity…until they get boycotted, protested and skewered in the press. They’ll punish and apologize for lapses but have no clue about prevention. Rob Chesnut is Chief Ethics Officer at Airbnb and knows first-hand what it takes to drive integrity into corporate culture. A former Federal Prosecutor who prosecuted spy Aldrich Ames, he went on to found the Trust and Safety Department for eBay and the integrity training program for Airbnb: two companies with business models dependent on trust that had to invent the rules in the new frontiers of e-commerce and platforms. Rob joins us to discuss ethical blindspots at work from #metoo to alcohol consumption to how we acquire and use data. He also provides insight into how to survive an integrity lapse in an age when a single tweet or a bad Yelp review can live forever.
