Adam Wilson Talks to Everyone
Leadership when the boss is indicted with Jan Jutte
Show Notes

Jan Jutte steered the Washington State Auditor's Office through a major crisis when the then-elected State Auditor Troy Kelley was charged with federal financial crimes. Jan was about to retire from her long career in public service, but instead stepped up as acting state auditor. 

We talk about the bizarre situation of telling your boss that they don't get to make the decisions. Dealing with the press. Trying to put distance between professional work and politics. And how, at one point, Kelley decided he literally didn't want to see Jan -- but continued to leave her to runt the office while he focused on his legal defense.
