Do you think that then if you look at
00:00:02
leadership that it's part of
00:00:03
leadership's responsibility to take
00:00:05
responsibility for this kind of
00:00:08
whistleblowing process and approach
00:00:10
because if you're saying that the senior
00:00:12
people in the organization they're the
00:00:14
people with maybe some more power, some
00:00:16
more control, they're the people that
00:00:17
can actually make a difference, can make
00:00:18
a change. Yeah, so I think the main
00:00:21
issue is that the the knee-jerk response
00:00:23
don't look at who's lighting the match,
00:00:25
right? But look at and ignore the fire.
00:00:27
Yeah, which comes down to integrity,
00:00:28
right? Integrity of the organization
00:00:31
externally and also the integrity of
00:00:33
those leaders that are within it.
