What happens when the rules only seem to apply to some people and your boss won’t address it?
In Episode 51 of the Launch Point Leader Podcast, hosts Lori May and Beau Noblitt respond to a letter from Fed Up Follower, a team member struggling with the quiet chaos that comes from inconsistent accountability. Some coworkers bend the rules with zero consequences, while others are left wondering why they bother doing things the right way.
Lori and Beau unpack the emotional cost of fairness, the leadership risks of ignoring “small stuff,” and what to do when you’re not in charge, but still want to protect your team culture. From proposing healthy solutions to having hard conversations, this episode gives you real tools to lead from the middle with clarity, influence, and respect.
What You’ll Learn:
✅ How to approach a boss who avoids enforcing policies
✅ What to say when team culture starts to erode from “little” violations
✅ Why perception matters and how to balance flexibility with fairness
🎙 Podcast Quote:
"Maybe the rules aren’t clear or maybe they’re not actually being broken. That’s why the conversation matters." – Lori May

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
