In this episode, we examine the all-to-common reality of organizations and managers using rules, standards, and policies as weapons to control, retaliate, and oppress employees.

Our prescription for this episode: understand where this common practice of using policies as weapons comes from, and realize that there are more effective ways to create rules and policies that will yield far better results and employee performance.
