Blame Game - Teri's Tip #32

When things go wrong, what is the typical first question that is posed?  "Who screwed up?"  Pointing fingers is a big mistake.  It only causes people to become defensive, protect their territory and take you longer to get at the root cause of what is causing the problem.

Therefore, when things go wrong, ask the question "what went wrong in the process?"  80% of the time, the problem is within the process and only 20% of the time is it a person who is at fault.  What this creates is a culture of continuous improvement.
