Let's start here--I had never been a fan of reality TV, until I was recruited to be on "Undercover Boss." (In case you're new to it, "Undercover Boss" is a unique program that showcases executives who go undercover in their respective companies to work in various departments and get an inside, raw view of how their operation works, their employees' feelings toward the company, and much more.)
For me, "Undercover Boss" was an amazing personal experience, something I will never forget. As President & CEO of Hudson Group, which operates Hudson News as well as Hudson Booksellers, and many other brands in airports and transit terminals across North America, I am often asked why I agreed to do the show. There were four reasons that I saw as opportunities. I present them here in hopes that you can relate to what happened to me and use my experience to the benefit of your own organizations.
Our company has grown from very humble beginnings, a single store in New York's LaGuardia Airport to well over 700 stores today. Back in the day my dad, who introduced the Hudson News concept to the travel retail industry over 25 years ago, would walk around and meet everyone regularly. And as much as I try when I travel to do the same, there is only so much ground you can physically cover.
I continually say to the exec team, we sit here in a corporate office looking at spreadsheets and making decisions, but we can't begin to understand how those decisions affect our front-line management and service associates.
Patrick Lencioni is one of my favorite authors and speakers. His recent book is called, "The Advantage: Why Organizational Health Trumps Everything Else in Business." This book really puts it all together--leadership, teamwork, and communication.
He talks a lot about why it is better for an organization to be healthy than smart. The central foundation to leadership for a healthy organization is trust. Trust, according to Patrick, means feeling comfortable enough with your coworkers to be totally honest.
Even great athletes lose, but they test the limits and put themselves out there. They learn from errors and get a better result each time they go out there. Practice doesn't make perfect, it makes progress.
So what did we learn? We discovered--on air--that some of our warehousing practices were not terribly efficient, and that some of our point-of-sales processes needed updating. Worse, we learned that some of our employees did not feel truly valued and appreciated.
But to me, what was achieved was far more than solving a few small issues. I saw it as good data we could work with. What we did was communicate to our team with transparency, trust, and faith in our culture.
The series was written by Peter Moffat, directed by James Hawes and produced by Richard Stokes.[4]Moffat took inspiration for the fictional drama from real-life revelations about British police officers who had formed long-term relationships with activists they were investigating while undercover, as well as from the London Metropolitan Police Service's secret surveillance of the family of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence.[6]
On recovering from her seizure, Maya immediately accuses Nick of having an affair. Caught off-guard, he instinctively and truthfully protests his innocence. When it later becomes clear to him that Maya's friend Julia saw him with Abigail Strickland, instead of telling Maya the truth about his past he lies, saying that he met an old friend from his days in a children's home but without naming her. Maya is diagnosed with epilepsy but refuses medication because it may affect her clarity of thinking. At work, she continues to try to trace the mystery witness who failed to meet her. Meanwhile, Julia has seen reports of Strickland's death in the news and realises that she is the woman she saw Nick with. Intrigued, she tries to investigate but can find no official records of her existence.
In Louisiana, Maya is losing the fight to save Jones' life. Outside court, she meets Vernon Early, the witness whose evidence convicted Jones. He says that his false testimony was coerced and agrees to be a witness in the current hearings; he also tells her he met Michael Antwi. While accompanied by Dr Ambrose, an expert witness called by her mother, Clem tells Maya and Nick's son Dan this news. Dan unwittingly passes it on to Nick's handler Carter; Early is arrested on charges of perjury before he can testify.
Meanwhile Julia's colleague Alex Brady has photographed Nick meeting a man whose car registration is untraceable. In Whitehall, the Minister is told "We have taken out an insurance policy on the whole family." Shortly afterwards Dan meets a young woman, Lola, apparently by chance; they agree to meet the next day. Maya returns home and confronts Nick with the information she has about his false identity; he confesses, but says he stopped spying on her early in their relationship. Mackie, Antwi's violent racist cellmate, tells Maya the CIA ordered him to kill Antwi but he failed because he was stopped by a "big-shot coon". Nick tells Carter that Maya has become more cautious, and that he needs more information if he is to ask her the right questions. He is told to "hold his nerve".
Taking a semester off to travel and focus on writing isn't that unusual for a student at Brown University. But instead of studying comparative literature in Europe, Kevin Roose decided to go to Lynchburg, Va., and enroll at Jerry Falwell's Liberty University.
Roose passed himself off as an evangelical Christian to blend in with students at the school founded by the late Moral Majority leader. The experience led to a book, The Unlikely Disciple: A Sinner's Semester at America's Holiest University.
Roose, the product of the "ultimate, secular, liberal upbringing," got the idea to go undercover after meeting a group of Liberty students while a freshman at Brown. "I had never really come into contact with conservative Christian culture," he says. "It became clear very quickly that we had almost no way to communicate with each other."
Just converting to an evangelical student was awkward enough for Roose. One day he sat down to a test that featured a true-false question: "Noah's Ark was big enough to accommodate various species of dinosaurs."
Adjusting to dorm life at an evangelical university, however, was a special challenge. For starters, there's the 46-page code of conduct called the "Liberty Way," which outlines the rules and regulations of student life. "There's no drinking, no smoking, no R-rated movies," Roose says, "but also no dancing, no cursing and no hugs that last for longer than three seconds."
Roose tried to follow all the rules, even buying a Christian self-help book to help him avoid cursing. For a couple weeks he walked around campus saying "Glory be!" and "Mercy!" Turns out Liberty students don't actually talk like that, Roose reports.
They may have done a better job than they thought. Even though he's back at Brown, Roose still tries to pray every day. He says the act of prayer changes him, referring to the writings of Christian author Oswald Chambers.
Jonah waddled back and forth in front of the museum, pretending to be outraged by the rented tuxedo. In reality, though, Jonah thought it was kind of cool being dressed up like James Bond and taking part in his first undercover assignment.
The event was a charity gala featuring five newly acquired sculptures. They were modern pieces and each statue was accented in real fur. That was why the museum needed such security. Anti-fur protestors were picketing the museum, and some had even threatened to crash the gala and destroy the offending works of art.
Carol Bixby scanned the room, then pointed to a window high in the wall. The glass had been shattered, and footprints on the marble floor showed where the intruder had jumped down into the room of statues. Near the doorway was the abandoned can of spray paint and a pair of plastic gloves.
A sudden flash of cameras alerted them to the photographers gathered around. The reporters who were there to document the gala opening now had a bigger story on their hands. The vandals had won, Jonah thought. They had gotten their publicity.
Undercover operations, investigations and missions are inherently dangerous. The use of sworn members in a covert role in an investigation will be limited to those instances where the use of other investigative tools (i.e., Confidential Reliable Informants (CRI), surveillance, and citizen information) is not practical or would compromise the integrity of the investigation. The overriding concern in any undercover operation is for the safety of the undercover member. A sergeant or above will supervise all undercover operations. It is essential that adequate cover officers are present during any undercover operation.
An undercover member may work alone or with any number of undercover members. The undercover member should ensure that he/she does not have any items of clothing, equipment or any other item visible that would readily identify him/her as a sworn member. When in a covert role, the member is subject to the following:
a. At no time will an officer consume controlled substances as a part of the undercover role. If a situation arises where the undercover member is being forced to use controlled substances, he/she should refuse. If the suspect persists, the member(s) will extract his/herself from the situation and terminate contact.
b. A member working in an undercover role should be armed. If there is a specific reason the member cannot be armed, approval from the RU manager (or designee) will be obtained before the member works unarmed.
c. Members should avoid drinking alcohol when working undercover. In such situations and whenever possible, members will consume non-alcoholic beverages. If the need arises, a member may drink alcohol but should refrain from drinking in excess. Immediately after the operation the member will report to his/her supervisor that alcohol was consumed. In the event a member consumed alcohol, he/she will take no police action after consuming alcohol and the member will remain at his/her RU until the effects of the alcohol are gone.
