Gradient of Authority

 - P.A.C.E.
  - - Probe - This is to gain the attention of the leader or the person above you on the authority gradient. It’s where we use hints to hopefully prompt them that something isn’t right.
  - - Alert - This is where we express discomfort with the situation. We’re using slightly more direct language to let the problem be known.
  - - Challenge - Now we’re telling them what the problem is. We use direct language to state it, we’re no longer just questioning the leader.
  - - Emergency - The final step in this model is when we verbally stop someone from doing what is wrong.
