5,300 Employees Were Terminated. The Pattern Was Still There.

This Decisions Under the Microscope case examines what happens when individual accountability addresses the person without fully diagnosing the leadership and systems surrounding the behavior.
“But, Did You DOCUMENT IT?”
Documentation isn't administrative cleanup after something goes wrong. The record should show what happened, what leadership did, and how the organization arrived at its decision. Here are ten rules every manager and leader should know.

When Standards Don't Travel: A Workplace-Policy Decision Under the Microscope
A policy can exist on paper and still fail in practice. Using a real EEOC franchise case, this Decision Under the Microscope examines what happens when corporate standards must travel through layers of ownership and leadership—and why the distance between intent and employee experience can become a business problem.
