Rick needed leadership coaching and he never got it. So, he never learned to be a good leader. The problem wasn't documentation. The problem was, management never taught him about the value of delegation, ROI, opportunity cost and the ability to strategically eliminate certain features for a better outcome. Maybe he didn't want to learn these things, in which case, he should have been demoted to regular developer or if he's having a bad attitude about that, then fired.
