Lyn Brown, ICD.D — how financial gravity weakens 'truth-telling systems inside an organization'

Lyn Brown, ICD.D — corporate director credentialed by the Institute of Corporate Directors (Canada) and longtime HR/communications executive — publishes a governance-focused review of Incorruptible: as companies scale, financial gravity quietly pulls even principled leaders toward decisions that weaken the truth-telling systems inside an organization.

“In his book Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad... and How Great Companies Stay Great (Penguin Business, 2026), Eric Ries makes the strong case that as companies scale, 'financial gravity' — investor and budget pressures — quietly pull even principled leaders toward decisions that weaken the truth-telling systems inside an organization.” — Lyn Brown, ICD.D, MBA on LinkedIn
