From the Paper:

"In this situation we notice that Carly who is the project leader is reporting delays and blaming it on one team member Morris. She feels that Morris is the reason; team is failing to meet targets. However we must notice that she did not report this earlier when something could have been done to meet targets on time. Instead Carly complained about Morris' attitude only when it was too late. One reason why she didn't approach earlier could be that she was not certain if she should report Morris. Carly was probably trying to sort things out on her own until she realized that she couldn't. Another reason could be her bias against Morris. She felt that if she complained at a critical time, such as near the due date, Morris would be taken to task more severely and he might even lose his job. Judging from her behavior and the research that was conducted, the second reason sounds more credible."
