Johnson provides insights on effective leadership in compliance and ethics

“Effective leadership in compliance and ethics engages and supports employees and operations across an organization,” states Johnson. “Vulnerability is not a weakness; leaders need to bring authenticity and a degree of vulnerability to connect and convey clarity and purpose. I look forward to sharing insights as part of a constructive discussion at this conference.”
