Lines of inquiry — A named line of the record’s own argument, so that a line can be set aside as a whole and what depends on it can be found. Retracting a line is a status change on its members, never a deletion (ADR-032).

Organizational affect — affective states as properties of organized systems, read through Frijda — the line the will paper grew out of.

CASE-151Wells Fargo’s Community Bank, 2002–2016: unauthorized and unwanted accounts that the board’s own investigation traced to the sales model, the performance management that enforced it and a decentralized structure, while signals of the harm reached people who could not act on themThe Wells Fargo sales-practices episode, as reported by the bank’s independent directors (2017; LIT-1425, read in NOTE-1095). The report finds the root cause in the Community Bank’s sales culture and performance management, sustained by a decentralized structure that deferred to the business line. It finds that leadership blamed individual employees, and that the signals of harm were held by investigators, regional leaders and control functions without authority to act, or filtered before reaching the board. It also names and sanctions individuals. Not shown: intent, the absence of individual culpability, or anything beyond the company’s own account of itself.Active
