Playing the blame game when a problem develops at work is a bad bet. Here’s a better idea.
Recommendation
Playing the blame game or shaming workers who make mistakes doesn’t solve workplace problems, it creates them. Employees who feel accused or embarrassed become fearful and resentful – or they quit – instead of trying to solve problems. Agile expert Diana Larsen and leadership adviser Tricia Broderick provide a blame- and shame-free approach leaders can use to address issues and move people ahead without acrimony or recrimination. They explain how to put three powerful team motivators – “purpose, autonomy and a team’s shared co-intelligence” – to work. They delve into ways you can minimize conflict and power plays while fostering your team’s learning, resilience and results.
