In the article,”What do we do when rules are broken,” by Dr. Thomas Gordon, argues that every organization has rules and all the leaders at all the different levels are going to be held accountable for making people follow those rules. This was found on a website called Gordon Training International. Dr. Gordon made this website around what he calls the Gordon Model; the Gordon model is based around relationships and to help with what to do when those relationships go wrong. This article was made to help people determine what we can do when rules are broken.

In the article Dr. Gordon talks about how if a worker breaks the rule the leader often hear the assumption of they didn’t know the rule. People can use this and apply it in dating relationships, parental relationships, etc. This article provides steps for if people need help with what to do if they get this excuse.

Obviously if a rule is broken and the person who broke it gets caught then that person will be in trouble. Dr. Gordon talks about how if a rule is broken it is our job to enforce the rule to try not to have it broken.
