Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad... and How Great Companies Stay Great

Eric Ries, 2026

What It Is: A 2026 book by Eric Ries, founder of the Lean Startup movement and the Long-Term Stock Exchange, arguing that companies drift from their mission not through bad actors but through poorly designed governance systems — ownership structures, incentives, and decision-making rules that that lack the structural integrity to defend against internal and external pressures.

Why It Matters: Ries reframes governance as a design problem rather than a compliance exercise, arguing that Accountability to the mission has to be built into a company's structure — charters, voting rights, incentive design — rather than added on after mission drift has already happened.

How to Use It: Use it to prompt discussions with boards and founders about potential mission drift, and timely redesign of governance structures.

Results That Matter: Building Trust in Elections

2026

What It Is: A research initiative from UC San Diego's Yankelovich Center, run with MIT's Election Data Science Lab and Johns Hopkins' SNF Agora Institute, testing which communication strategies actually build voter trust in elections and publishing both peer-reviewed studies and short practitioner briefs.

Why It Matters: The research yields concrete, usable findings — 'pre-bunking' messages measurably reduce distrust of delayed results, and state-produced informational videos increase trust in that state's own election process — giving Transparency-focused communication a tested foundation rather than guesswork, directly relevant to the Legitimacy of election administration. 'Pre-bunking' refers to giving people accurate information about something before they encounter a misleading claim about it, so they're less likely to be swayed when they do.

How to Use It: Pull specific briefs (on pre-bunking messages or informational videos) to inform how your organization communicates with employees about election timelines and results.

The Law Firm Crisis: Lessons and Recommendations

Kathleen Hamill, 2026

This report is based on interviews with twenty-nine partners and associates from law firms that responded to 2025-26 Executive Orders and other federal challenges with a wide variety of strategies -- from compliance to lawsuits.

The focus was on the strategic calculations driving decisions by individual lawyers and law firms, regardless of the strategy they took. The report concludes that fear significantly magnifies perceptions of risk, collective action is critical in responding to pressure, and business leaders have a crucial stake in upholding rule of law, for its own sake and as a cornerstone of the free market system.

The New Rules of Political Spending Oversight

David Pahlic, Bruce Freed & Karl Sandstrom, 2026

What It Is: A June 2026 Directors & Boards article documenting how corporate political spending oversight has shifted from a government-relations function to a board-level governance priority, citing the CPA-Zicklin Index's tracking of disclosure practices at major public companies.

Why It Matters: Companies rated "trendsetters" for political spending disclosure and board oversight grew from 28 to 112 over the past decade — a 400% increase — reflecting a shift toward Accountability and Transparency achieved through "private ordering" (companies self-regulating) rather than government mandate.

How to Use It: Use this to benchmark your company's political spending policy against the CPA-Zicklin Framework, and to make the case to your board that comprehensive disclosure is now mainstream practice, not an outlier position.
