Get Out of the Way.

The law encourages and protects rescuers by removing liability for harm they suffer during their rescue.

The exception is the rescuer who represents they will go to the assistance of another, then fail to do so or abandons their attempt without good cause. The law says that by doing so, the person prevents others from going to the rescue, and may therefore be liable to the person in distress.

Bad bosses are like the bad rescuer.

They hold a position and perform their duties badly to the exclusion of another who may do it well. They expose their workers to stress, overwork, and risk to their health and wellbeing that could be prevented by a good boss. Customers, clients, and suppliers also suffer. Potential good bosses or good workers are deterred from joining the organisation due to the bad boss at the helm.

As the old saying goes: Lead, follow, or get out of the way.
