Case Study:

Micah and Brian were friends in high school, but after graduation, their paths diverged dramatically. Micah studied business, got a good job, and even managed to purchase his own nightclub after several years. Brian started doing drugs, dropped out of university, and then held a series of menial jobs in between serving time in jail for assault and theft. Brian had a problem with anger management and could often over-react to the smallest things.Brian recently approached Micah seeking a favour: he needed a job. Brian had heard that Micah washiring bouncers for his nightclub and Brian hoped that Micah would consider hiring him for the role. Brian assured Micah that he was "clean": he no longer took drugs or abused alcohol. On the one hand, Micah wants to help his old friend. Brian was a good guy who had made some bad decisions. Maybe he just needs a second chance to get things right. But on the other hand, Micah knows that being a bouncer requires self-control and the ability to use enough force, but not too much. Bouncers also have to be able to deal with obnoxious drunk patrons and not over-react to situations.
