First$-$line Managers often assist in the decisions made by their department heads. However, the department heads retain full responsibility for the decisions $-$ if a plan succeeds, it's their success; if a plan fails, it's their fault. Now imagine this: A a first$-$line Manager, you have uncovered new information that your department head hasn't seen yet. Your findings indicate that your manager's recent plans are sure to fail. If the plans do fail, the manager will probably be demoted or fired, and you're the most likely candidate to fill the vacancy. Will you give your department head the report or keep it to yourself?
