This is a good point – I’ve (anecdotally) seen one organization “go off the rails” because of a staff member who was behaving unethically but the CEO didn’t feel like they had a mandate to just fire them without going through a bunch of formal process.
I guess it’s by definition hard to precisely describe when one should deviate from a standard process; perhaps “get feedback from a bunch of experts” is the best advice you could give a CEO in such a situation.
