Leadership
• Does the leader make the organization, or does the organization make the leader?
• “Public confidence tied to the organization not to the person leading it”

“Good” Governance…..
In the regulator’s world….• Perception is reality• Competing interests exist• Responsibilities must be met• Reputation and Risk are key*

Competing Interests
• Are a given• The “needs” versus the “wants”• What we “owe” the members• What we owe the public*

Critical Messages…
• A “good reputation” is to a regulator….
• It takes years of good decision-making to build a great reputation….
• “Being well thought of in some circles does NOT mean public has confidence in you”
