Description

The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to explore a subject more fully. Seeking insightful perspectives on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly discuss the implications of reducing the number of middle managers in corporate America.


Kelly’s blog post, inspired by a Wall Street Journal article, serves as the foundation for a broader discussion on how the reduction of managers impacts corporate culture, employee dynamics, and compliance programs. They explore the reasons behind this trend, such as the desire for agility or cost-cutting, and its effects on communication, institutional knowledge, and the role of compliance officers. They also explore potential solutions, including the use of AI, enhanced training, and adaptive compliance strategies, to mitigate the risks associated with fewer middle managers.


Key highlights:



  • Corporate America’s Managerial Shift

  • Implications for Corporate Culture
