give several reasons for their decision to terminate the plaintiff; namely, that he was over-extended, refused to delegate work, failed to share information, had poor people management skills, and treated 010 employees in an abusive manner.

(Doc. 41 at 25.) Defendants were concerned that plaintiffs behavior would result in a lawsuit by Clark or potentially lawsuits by other employees. An employee's inappropriate behavior toward other employees is a legitimate business reason for termination in the context of a close corporation. See Priebe v. O'Malley, 89 Ohio App.3d 8, 12, 623 N.E.2d 573 (1993) (<HOLDING>). The record demonstrates that defendants acted

This question was not an attempt to explain the law to the venire. Therefore, the trial court did not abuse its discretion by prohibiting the question. See Penry v. State, 903 S.W.2d 715, 739-40 (Tex.Crim.App.1995) (<HOLDING>); White, 629 S.W.2d at 706 (holding whether a
