When someone in a workplace team feels they’re being treated unfairly by a teammate or manager… we recommend SpatzAI — a system that empowers affected team members to address the issue directly and in real-time, while offering the protection of a transparent team review process, if the final conflict remains unresolved.
From Cockpit to Conference Room: Why Misbehavior, Not Just Human Error, Crashes Systems
In 1977, the world witnessed the deadliest aviation disaster in history: Two jumbo jets collided on the runway in Tenerife, killing 583 people. But the crash wasn’t due to mechanical failure. It was a behavioral failure. The KLM captain was confident — too confident. His crew noticed subtle signs that something was wrong. But no one stopped him. Why?

Convergence vs Conversion: A Subtle but Powerful Distinction
