Join us to hear Bud Krogh describe his unique experiences on Richard Nixon’s White House staff . He explains how the “slippery slope” of little decisions that lack integrity—such as a police badge for Elvis Presley, the fat content in the American hot dog, and a botched nomination of a U.S. Supreme Court Justice—can lead to a major meltdown and bring about events such as Watergate. From his experience, Krogh has developed the Integrity Zone, a model for making decisions that are based on integrity and are whole, right, and good. He offers examples of how critical it is to be aware of the context of one’s work in order to avoid external and internal threats to integrity, including secrecy, group think, pressure for results, arrogance, misplaced loyalty, and blind ambition.
