Associated with  Indianapolis Section

Why This Webinar Will Stick with You
Even in the most regulated industries, culture can quietly override systems. The scary part: people often don’t realize it until it’s too late. This webinar peels back the curtain on the psychology of power and authority, showing how invisible pressures can push good people toward bad decisions.

We’ll draw from shocking real-world examples, both psychological experiments that made history and true crime cases that sound like they were ripped from a thriller. The lesson: compliance failures don’t just come from weak systems, they come from hidden forces shaping human behavior.

Inside the Story

  • Power and Obedience: Explore the Milgram study and the 1966 Nurse Experiment to see how ordinary people followed orders they knew were wrong.
  • Criminal Parallels: Examine a shocking cheerleader punishment in Texas and the nationwide strip-search hoax to uncover what happens when authority is misused.
  • Power vs. Authority: Break down how these concepts differ, and why French & Raven’s bases of power still drive workplace behavior.
  • Culture Under Pressure: Connect psychological mechanisms of obedience to compliance drift in regulated environments and see how leadership decisions steer culture in subtle but powerful ways.
  • The Path Forward: Learn how to catch early warning signs and apply strategies that build stronger systems of accountability, ethics, and resilience.

Who Should Join

  • Quality and compliance professionals, especially in regulated industries
  • Leaders who want to shape culture instead of letting it shape them
  • Curious minds who love psychology, ethics, or true crime stories
  • Anyone ready to spot the hidden pressures that bend workplace behavior
