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.

5 Well-Remembered Values

Philip Crosby, one of the leading gurus in quality improvement, took me to breakfast when he hired me in 1983 and during the meal gave me a gift.  The gift was a wooden box with a Cross pen inserted.  Engraved on the box was the word ADEPT.  He explained the meaning of the acronym:
A is for Accuracy
D is for Discreet
E is for Enthusiasm
P is for Productive
T is for Thrifty.

He expected each of his employees to display these values.  25 years later, I remember them.  Read more at:
