About the Book
When Stewardship Falters
When Stewardship Falters is a comprehensive exploration of the concept of stewardship across five critical domains: retirement and welfare systems, the ecology of nature, government policy, corporate behavior, and financial institutions.
This book serves as an essential resource for understanding the intricate relationships between these sectors and the paramount importance of upholding stewardship principles, especially for retirement and healthcare plan fiduciaries.
Inside When Stewardship Falters
The evolving risk landscape creates significant challenges for fiduciaries managing retirement and healthcare plans. With the introduction of new regulations like the SECURE Acts, the Consolidated Appropriations Act (“CAA”), and increased litigation under ERISA, fiduciaries are under heightened scrutiny to ensure compliance and prudent decision-making. Cybersecurity threats further complicate the landscape as class action lawsuit strategies expand to include this issue.
When Stewardship Falters addresses the emerging risks, focusing on how fiduciaries can effectively manage the complexities of contemporary plan administration. It emphasizes the importance of adopting time-honored stewardship principles for controlling costs, enhancing transparency, and implementing stringent cybersecurity measures to safeguard the interests of all constituents.
The book also provides actionable insights on regulatory changes, regular risk assessments, and fostering a culture of proactive risk management.
Whether you’re an HR executive or employee benefit plan committee member, When Stewardship Falters replaces outmoded and obsolete practices with contemporary solutions.

What this book says
‘Many scholars and commentators assert that few acts in American legislative history have had as profound an impact on the concept of stewardship as the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).’
‘The notion of stewardship, as codified by ERISA, goes beyond mere management or oversight. It implies a sacred trust, a fiduciary duty of the highest order.’
‘Throughout When Stewardship Falters, we will unpack the foundational qualities that define true stewardship. These qualities are not confined to employee benefit plans.’
‘What happens when sacred trust in stewards and fiduciaries breaks? When those entrusted with the care of our collective future lose their way, or worse, deliberately betray their charge?’
‘When Stewardship Falters seeks to explore, unravel, and understand the central question: How does that happen?’
