Deep corruption threatened to ruin jobs and harm lives. Intimidation, distrust, and secrecy became the norm among the executive management group of Chelan County Public Utility. Even in a small and semi-rural American government, corrupt leaders aren't simply dishonest and immoral. They're dangerous. A board of directors should hold wrongdoers accountable, but sometimes that responsibility falls to righteous employees. A riveting and relevant memoir, The Intrepid Brotherhood details a classic story of enlightened leaders' war against oppressive management when private misconduct evokes public resistance.

Gordon Graham, J.D., is also a Law Enforcement Officer.Gordon's education as a Risk Manager and experience as a practicing attorney, coupled with his extensive background in law enforcement, have allowed him to rapidly become recognized as a leader in private and public sector organizations with multiple areas of expertise.Gordon proudly served the California Highway Patrol and was a motorcycle officer for his first ten years.He helped design the first DUI task force, assisted in developing the DRE (Drug Recognition Expert program), was an instructor in the initial  “Mod I and II” Haz Mat program, and wrote his first of many technical papers: “PCP–An Officer's Survival Guide.”Gordon helped provide the single greatest treatise on motorcycle safety.On the “B” shift, he and his fellow Sergeants stressed the values and beliefs and built the most productive team of motorcycle officers in the department's history.He saw deficiencies in officers' training and revolutionized law enforcement training with his SROVT program: Solid, Realistic, Ongoing, Verifiable, Training.This daily training bulletin concept resulted in his later being awarded the Governor's award for excellence in law enforcement training.He also sharpened his focus on how his education and training in systems and his legal background could work together to improve the quality of law enforcement operations by incorporating real risk management into police operations.He provides organizations, including those involved in commercial real estate, hospital operations, manufacturing companies, aerospace operations, nuclear power plants, auto racing operations, and many others.He also expanded his efforts to assist other public safety organizations in developing Fire Fighter Close Calls, now recognized as “the source” of information about firefighter safety.This effort led to his assisting the International Association of Fire Chiefs with a similar effort and developing their Fire Fighter Near Miss safety.The IAFC awarded Gordon the Presidential Award for Excellence for his lifelong work in improving firefighter safety and performance.Gordon became a founder of a company designed to standardize policy, procedure, and training in public safety operations.Today, most law enforcement agencies in California use the Lexipol Knowledge Management System, and nearly half of the states use this approach to law enforcement operations.This effort has dramatically improved the safety of police personnel while also influencing a dramatic reduction in claims, settlements, and verdicts adverse to law enforcement agencies.Gordon held his law enforcement headquarters assignment until his service retirement and was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award.Graham's innovative programs, based on the values and beliefs he learned and a passion for continuous improvement, are the standard for any organization that wants to improve existing operations and prevent things from going wrong.IDEA - the International De-Escalation Association, is dedicated to Saving Lives, Reputations, & Relationships through Conflict De-Escalation & Communication Training for Teachers, Parents, and Public Safety Providers.Find more about How to Calm an Angry Person in 90 Seconds or Less Come visit us at the IDEA website (International De-Escalation Association): https://TheIdea.WorldSubscribe to our free weekly newsletter to stay up to date on the latest news and blogs about Schools, Police, Fire, Medical Services and Flight Attendants.Do you or your organization need Communication Skills and De-Escalation Training?

Gordon was an IT professional who took lifelong learning seriously. He joined a public utility district (PUD) because it stood for collaboration, communication, and support. Those core values at the PUD started deteriorating as a new leader focused on personal gain and power pushed for a new $8 million ERP solution without his most important team members to manage the implementation.Gordon Graham is the author of The Intrepid Brotherhood which provides the story leading up to the day he was pushed out of the organization. The final chapters reveal the jury's verdict on Gordon's termination.This is a business book without trying to be like one. Readers will learn how not to manage an ERP implementation. We learn how easily corporate governance at the board level can fall apart. We also gain unique leadership and ethical insights from an IT professional's viewpoint.

In this episode, I speak with Gordon Graham on the topic of his new book "The Intrepid Brotherhood", what might be perceived as a case study in toxic leadership. We cover what the toxic leader did, how it effected the company and what Gordon would say to him if he had the chance.★ Gordon's Bio: ★ Gordon Graham is a former information technology professional with over 30 years of experience in the electric utility industry. During his career, he was recognized by peers and industry trade associations as an authority on information technology management issues and was a sought-after speaker on information technology strategy and aligning technology with business.

Gordon Graham is a former information technology professional with over 30 years of experience in the electric utility industry. Gordon wrote the book "The Intrepid Brotherhood" a story that came to be when he decided to blow the whistle on Chelan County Public Utility that was leading down a path of corruption. A multimillion-dollar project had the potential to transform the PUD's business management. Instead, it ended in management conflict and Gordon's discharge. His determination for justice revealed a culture of sinister practices and problems that would cost more than the company's reputation. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/out-of-the-blank-podcast/support

How do you speak truth to power? Or perhaps the real leadership question is, why would you speak truth to power? For Gordon Graham the answer was always because he had the best interests of his organisation at heart. When the integrity of his employer was under threat, Gordon put himself in the firing line by approaching his CEO with feedback. What unfolded was a long saga of toxic leadership and unethical management that took a concerted and courageous effort from Gordon and his colleagues to dismantle. In his book, The Intrepid Brotherhood, Gordon provides a cautionary tale to those in power and a reminder that vigilance and responsibility should filter through every level of an organisation.

In this episode of the FCPA Compliance Report I visit with Gordon Graham. Gordon is a successful whistleblower who told his tale in the book The Intrepid Brotherhood. In this book, Graham discusses how corruption threatened to ruin jobs and harm lives. The leadership at the top of the organization used intimidation, distrust, and secrecy to control the Chelan County Public Utility District showing that control and power can corrupt even the most ethical organization's integrity—unless someone speaks up. Which Gordon Graham did. In this podcast, he tells his story.  Resources website: www.intrepidbrotherhood.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/gordon-graham-57385319a Facebook Author Page: In Search Of Aristotle | Facebook Learn more about your ad choices.

Gordon has a story of lies, deceit, and theft. His boss and then CEO was as crooked as a river, and did everything in his power to ruin their public works facility.  After a decade of dishonest work ethic this CEO was finally pushed out, but found  new victims just miles away.   

JobTlks Podcast is an emerging effort to have positive influence on Firehouse culture and fireground tactics. In Episode 1 we meet the JobTlks crew. We discuss where they are from, the type and size of their respective departments, and a little about their operational realities.

It is no surprise that most respondents to Police1's second annual State of the Industry survey indicated that communication is key to being a good supervisor. Along with that, the 2,376 respondents indicated that they want law enforcement leaders who: Care about their officers; Have technical knowledge of the job; Ensure equal distribution of workload among all their officers; Acknowledge the efforts of their subordinates; Support them in doing their job. To help decipher what cops want and how law enforcement leaders can accommodate their requests, there can be no better advisor than Gordon Graham, who has been actively involved in law enforcement since 1973. Graham worked as a CHP motorcycle officer in Los Angeles for most of his first 10 years then served as a sergeant in the same office for most of his second 10 years. He spent the remainder of his career in various headquarters assignments including assistant to the general counsel, executive assist to the commissioner and commander of the office of risk management. He took his background in CHP operations and coupled it with his education in risk management and his experiences as a lawyer to co-found Lexipol, a company designed to standardize public safety operations nationally.  In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley chats with Gordon about the key takeaways from the survey for law enforcement leaders.

The benefits of higher education for law enforcement officers can include improving a better understanding of laws and policies, to becoming a better communicator, both verbally and on the written page, to becoming more socially aware from interaction with professors and peer students. The University of Virginia has long been linked to law enforcement practices through the association with the FBI National Academy In Quantico, Virginia and with respected law enforcement leaders on faculty, such as Lexipol's Gordon Graham. In this episode of Policing Matters, host Jim Dudley speaks with Bryon Gustafson, assistant professor and director of the Master of Public Safety program at the University of Virginia, about the benefits of a master's degree for police officers.

In today's podcast I have a conversation with Gordon Graham a nationally and internationally known speaker on the topic of risk and risk management. I have heard Gordon speak several times and he is very knowledgeable and engaging. Our discussion covers a multitude of topics from Black Swan events, disaster planning and how to write procedures among many others. You can review Gordon's Reading List at the link provided. During the podcast he mentions two books in particular, Amanda Ripley's The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes - and Why and then also Michele Wucker's book, The Gray Rhino: How to Recognize and Act on the Obvious Dangers We Ignore If you want to listen to another Disaster Zone Podcast on risk, here's a link to the one I did earlier this year with Michele Wucker, Personal and Organizational Risk Management.

As Lexipol's own Gordon Graham is wont to say, “Predictable is preventable” and that is probably true when it comes to the homicide spikes nationwide in 2020 and 2021. In a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, former Baltimore Police Department officer and professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice Peter Moskos wrote, “Civil unrest and calls for police accountability don't directly cause an increase in murders and other violence. The danger is when antipolice sentiment rises to the point where policing is seen as the primary problem to be solved rather than as an essential part of maintaining public order and safety. Onerous restrictions on the police can lead to the worst of both worlds: poorer policing and more violence…Mayors, city councils and police chiefs must accept responsibility for dramatic increases in street violence under their leadership, and they must be ready to defend the legal and necessary use of force by police.”  In this episode of Policing Matters host Jim Dudley chats with Peter, who launched the Violence Reduction Project in late 2020, about the strategies cities and communities can deploy to address the rise in violent crime.

Farzad Larki was born in Iran prior to the Revolution. He grew up in a comfortable middle class family, but when the Shah was overthrown, everything changed.  Between 1979 and 1996, Farzad, his parents, and his siblings all emigrated to the U.S., though each family member traveled a very different path. Farzad's journey was the longest. From Southern Iran to Portland, Oregon, Farzad's voyage spanned eleven years and six countries. He traveled by foot, donkey, car, and plane. There were many opportunities to stop along the way, but he had his sights set on the U.S. and the freedom that it represented. Many Roads to Here is a production of The Immigrant Story, in collaboration with Portland Radio Project. This episode was produced by Stephanie Vallance. Our audio editing was superbly done by Rick March, assisted by Gordon Graham. Roger Porter conducted the original interview.  Our executive producer is Sankar Raman. Many Roads to Here is expanding.

Reza Uddin was born in the epicenter of the Burmese government's ethnic cleansing campaign against Rohingya Muslims. For the first years of his life,  Reza wasn't aware of the institutionalized discrimination against the Rohingya. And then, when Reza was in high school, the Burmese government began denying citizenship to its Rohingya population. When he graduated college, Reza's father gave him a piece of advice: leave Burma, and don't come back.  The Rohingya refugee crisis is ongoing. There are a number of groups working in the refugee camps that accept donations, including BRAC, Action Against Hunger, and the UN refugee agency. You can donate to Reza's organization at http://friendsofrohingya.org/  Many Roads to Here is a production of The Immigrant Story, in collaboration with Portland Radio Project.
