It's not ok for leaders to cover up, deny a mistake, pretend, or hide there was a mistake. Listen in as Dr Rachel Bacon, Deputy Commissioner of Integrity, Reform, and Enabling Services at the Australian Public Service Commission, explains how in her experience at an institutional level, in reviews when something has gone terribly wrong or there has been a failure, covering it up is often just as bad if not worse than admitting there was a mistake in the first place. It undermines trust and confidence at an organisational level and a cultural level. Rachel provides insights on the importance of leaders showing vulnerability and how this opens the path to a pro-integrity culture that's innovative and where everyone feels psychologically safe.
