I have trouble balancing between “laying blame” & responsibility
January 18th, 2008 — christopheraveryWelcome to the AskChristopherAvery.com podcast where Christopher Avery, the world’s leading expert on personal and shared responsibility and author of “Teamwork is an Individual Skill” answers your most burning questions on teamwork, responsible leadership, and agile change.
In this episode, Christopher answers the question “I have trouble balancing between not “laying blame” but yet putting responsibility where it belongs because we can’t be responsible for the whole world. For example, a project manager whose project is dependent upon another project. If the other project slips it’s date, then the obviously the main project slips. It’s been defined up front as such. Yet when management goes into accountability mode and the project manager says, “my project missed it’s dates because the dependent project dates moved”…is that OK? Or is that “laying blame”?”
