HR Regime-Pattern Teaching Slides

These slides introduce students to the recurring regime patterns in HR.

Slide 1 — Title#

HR Regime Patterns
Understanding the structures that shape HR behavior.

Slide 2 — The Four Regimes#

• Authority Regime
  Top-down pressure, compliance, hierarchy.

• Narrative Regime
  Stories, impressions, assumptions.

• Emotional Regime
  Stress, overload, mood-driven decisions.

• Structural Regime
  Policies, incentives, constraints.

Slide 3 — Why Regimes Matter#

• Regimes shape behavior more than intentions.
• HR often operates unconsciously within regimes.
• Regime-blind decisions create drift.
• RTT exposes the active regime before action.

Slide 4 — Authority Regime Examples#

• Leadership narrative overrides evidence.
• Staff disagreement framed as defiance.
• HR defers upward by default.

Slide 5 — Narrative Regime Examples#

• “They’re not a team player.”
• “They have a bad attitude.”
• Single incidents treated as identity.

Slide 6 — Emotional Regime Examples#

• Manager frustration becomes documentation.
• Staff venting treated as insubordination.
• HR reacts to tone instead of structure.

Slide 7 — Structural Regime Examples#

• Workload imbalance
• Tool gaps
• Policy contradictions
• Incentive misalignment
