Precedent is the small vine growing through the seam of concrete that eventually breaks the slab. Precedent is the small root that eventually grows to fill and close off the drainpipe, causing sewage to back up into the house creating a smelly mess and damage. Precedent refers to decisions or exceptions made to policies that can set a pattern for future behavior, potentially affecting organizational culture, employee expectations and even legal implications.
