What happens when you put a bad apple next to a perfectly good one? It doesn't take long to find out — and the same principle applies to your team.In this episode, Elite Business Advisors founder Chris Moore breaks down the "Bad Apple Theory" and why protecting your crew, your culture, and your rock stars is one of the most important things you can do as you head into busy season. One toxic, negative, or underperforming employee doesn't just drag themselves down — they can quietly rot the whole bunch.Chris covers why the worst business decisions get made in moments of desperation, and why keeping someone around simply because you feel like you "need" them is a strategy that almost always backfires. He shares a practical framework for how to handle bad apples the right way — from proper HR documentation and write-ups to employment agreements and employee handbooks — so that when it's time to act, you're protected and prepared.The hard truth? No client has ever regretted letting the bad apple go. Productivity goes up. Morale goes up. And your best people — the ones you actually depend on — finally get to thrive.If you're a painting contractor managing a crew this season, this episode is a timely reminder: don't let one person's attitude or performance undermine everything you've worked to build.Topics covered:· Why bad apples spread — and how fast it happens· The real cost of keeping underperformers out of desperation· How to isolate a problem employee and evaluate whether they can be salvaged· Building a termination plan backed by documentation· Protecting your culture, your reputation, and your rock starsInterested in seeing how we help our clients?

Jerry opens the show by talking about a study that answered the question: Why do people succeed in life? Then Jerry turns to a neighbourhood dispute over the Bruno Mars concert and nearby residents that say the noise and vibrations were unbearable. Robyn Urback's new column looks at a trend inside the Toronto Police Service: more than a dozen officers have been arrested this year. Jerry and Robyn debate their stances on this issue. Jon Woodward, a CTV Investigative Reporter, joins Jerry to discuss the new changes to FOIs in Ontario and what he’s experienced.
Nothing kills cafe culture like an a staff member who is a bad fit for their role. Often this manifests in work performance issues that are felt by customers, coworkers, and leaders alike. It brings people down. The diabolical thing is that the most common response cafe leadership has is to simply wish it away and let it go on far too long. Meanwhile a toxic or ill fit employee continues (whether unwittingly or knowingly) to do damage to morale, service, and the reputation of the business. Today on Shift Break we will be talking about how to approach this "Bad Apple" situation in a way that seeks the highest good for all parties involved and affords you the opportunity to develop more decisiveness and resilience in the face of these unfortunate situations.

Bad Apples on Suspension by Radio Islam
The topic: the “bad apple effect,” or how one negative person can permeate and drag down an entire group. After chatting about missing each other and Tara's rainy, windy weekend in Pensacola for a friend's 60th birthday, they compare the concept to removing a bad strawberry to keep the rest fresh and to group dynamics where a “Debbie Downer” demands attention. Caroline describes how a difficult subcontractor's attitude can create client and brand issues, requiring calm, professional conversations and rules like routing all client concerns through the designers. Tara shares a styling incident where a high-end store sent a $2,500 blazer with a sensor still attached and a loose button, then blamed her, reinforcing the value of accountability and apologizing. They note research suggesting negative peers can reduce student achievement and emphasize choosing better company with age.

Kenneth Strange joins Locked In with Ian Bick to share his journey from being a Spanish and English teacher in New York to spending over two decades as a federal agent working some of the most complex cases in the system. After living in Saudi Arabia in the late 1970s, where he witnessed early signs of extremism that shaped his career, Kenneth went on to work with the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the Department of Justice. In this episode, he breaks down his 21 years in federal law enforcement, including terrorism investigations, white collar crime cases, and his time in internal affairs. He also shares what he saw from the inside, how these cases are actually handled, and the reality of working within the system. _____________________________________________ #FBI #FederalAgent #TrueCrime #LawEnforcement #CrimeStories #Undercover #Corruption #LockedInPodcast _____________________________________________ Connect with Kenneth Strange: https://kennethstrange.com/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Inside the FBI & Terrorism Cases (Full Story) 01:12 Growing Up in Brooklyn 02:00 Early Curiosity & Love of Storytelling 03:07 Relationship with My Father 05:32 Education, Language & Early Influences 07:27 Choosing a Career Path 07:41 Teaching in Saudi Arabia & Exposure to Terrorism 13:10 Understanding Terrorism in the Middle East 19:59 Deciding to Serve: FBI vs CIA 25:04 FBI Training & Early Challenges 32:05 First Assignment: Newark & Joint Terrorism Task Force 35:12 Early Terrorism Investigations (IRA Case) 38:09 International Cases & Real Threats 44:30 Inside U.S. Terror Cells & Missed Warnings 57:40 Leaving the FBI & Transition to Fraud Cases 01:04:20 Internal Affairs & Inspector General Work 01:08:42 Bureau of Prisons Investigations & Corruption Cases 01:19:12 Investigating Corruption in Law Enforcement 01:24:13 “Bad Apples” in Policing & Lessons Learned 01:27:03 Border Patrol Corruption Investigations 01:30:03 Retirement, Life Lessons & Final Thoughts _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

Joshua 7: One Bad Apple (Joshua: Pain & Promises) taught by Pastor Dave Rolph on 02-01-26.
There are good ICE agents and bad ICE agents but the people running DHS and ICE are nearly uniformly bad people
In 2013, to mark International Consumers Day, China’s state-run TV network labelled Apple a ‘bad company’. More than a decade later, despite claiming to rely on multinationals from 50 different countries, Apple still has nearly 100% of its supply chain in China. In this episode, we look at how Apple became so dependent on China, what it did to rehabilitate its image in the eyes of the Chinese government, and how it has influenced China’s aspiring global tech giants. Graeme is joined by Jianggan Li, the founder and CEO of Singapore-based Momentum Works, and the co-author of Seeing the Unseen: Behind Chinese Tech Giants’ Global Venturing and Patrick McGee, Financial Times journalist and the author of Apple in China: The Capture of the World’s Greatest Company.

Julia Alexander joins Peter to break down Apple's early exit from its 10-year, multibillion-dollar MLS rights deal, why the partnership was probably doomed from the get-go, and what MLS should be looking for in its next partner. They then consider Netflix's growing appetite for sports, and whether the streamer will snag marquee one-off events like the Home Run Derby or NBA Slam Dunk Contest to help boost flagging ratings and monetize new audiences along the way.

A shocking report by the Independent Police Conduct Authority has revealed a litany of serious failings in the handling of complaints relating to the disgraced former deputy commissioner Jevon McSkimming. Not only were the complaints from a former lover diverted from the appropriate channels by senior leaders including former police boss Andrew Coster, the woman involved was arrested and prosecuted for harmful digital communications. The new commissioner and the police minister insist that it is a failure of a small group of senior leaders – “bad apples”, as Mark Mitchell put it – rather than something systemic or cultural. But, ask Annabelle Lee-Mather, Ben Thomas and Toby Manhire, almost 20 years after the damning Margaret Bazley report that followed the Louise Nicholas case, is that explanation good enough? Plus: Parliament has two newly independent MPs, following the Te Pāti Māori National Council expelling Mariameno Kapa-Kingi and Takuta Ferris “for breaches of Kawa (the Party's constitution)”. As the implosion in the party deepens, a number of questions remain unanswered. Christopher Luxon and Winston Peters are exchanging blows over asset sales – is this a fracture in the coalition, an exercise in nostalgia, or two bald men (apologies Mr Peters, this is very much a metaphor) fighting over a comb? And changes to the Zero Carbon Act were announced with zero fanfare – what does it mean for New Zealand climate action and Paris commitments? Learn more about your ad choices.

There is a lot of discussion about the validity of science right now.Researchers talk endlessly about how to make results “more valid,” how to fix problems, and how to improve the system.But here is what I actually think.It is not about “bad apples.”It is almost never about that.The real issue is culture.And culture often comes down to one or two people inside a community who stress performance above all else. Those one or two people create tension. They make others feel lesser than. They make you feel like you are the problem. And then everything starts to bend around that pressure.This is true everywhere.Every organization. Every department. Every field.You can feel it when the conversation becomes only about outcomes:number of citations, number of papers, number of grants.All lagging indicators. All terrible predictors.My field in strategy does this constantly.It is completely wrong.And it has been wrong for a long time.A lot of this came from the old Jack-Welch-style management thinking of the 1980s. That mindset seeped everywhere. It made people believe outcomes were all that mattered. Just hit the number. Hit the target. Hit the metric.But if you look at the research coming out of the systems-dynamics world at MIT — the Sterman group especially — the story is always the same:When you focus on outcomes, everything erodes.Eventually it all falls apart.Because outcomes are not the thing that matters.What matters is whether people feel safe.What matters is whether people feel supported.What matters is whether there is unconditional kindness in the room instead of fear.You fix culture, you fix science.And none of that starts with performance.

On this episode of Culture & Compliance Chronicles, Amanda Raad and Nitish Upadhyaya from Ropes & Gray's Insights Lab, and Richard Bistrong of Front-Line Anti-Bribery are joined by Professor Guido Palazzo, co-author of The Dark Pattern: The Hidden Dynamics of Corporate Scandals. Together, they explore why corporate scandals are rarely the result of a few “bad apples” and instead stem from deeper organizational patterns—such as toxic leadership, unrealistic targets, and ambiguous rules—that shape behavior across entire companies. Professor Palazzo shares practical insights on how organizations can recognize and disrupt these harmful dynamics, foster allyship, and build cultures where ethical conduct thrives. Tune in for actionable strategies and a fresh perspective on creating lasting change in compliance and corporate culture.

Subscriber-only episodeSend us a textYou thought the official stories were safe? Think again. This week, Ones Ready goes nuclear with Matt Cubbler — Army veteran, retired cop, and the man Special Operations would really prefer you ignore. We dive into why Matt's been dubbed the “SEAL Killer” (spoiler: it's not because he stormed a compound) and how decades of government gaslighting, backroom deals, and military industrial self-worship led to the cover-ups of heroes like John Chapman and Job Price.From exposing the Wizard-of-Oz level fraud inside the SEAL brand, to calling out the government's disturbing addiction to "just trust us, bro," this episode rips the mask clean off. If you're still clinging to bedtime stories about flawless American heroism, go ahead and unsubscribe now — it's about to get real uncomfortable.Stay tuned, stay mad, and don't forget: If you're not questioning it, you're part of it.
