Embracing your Weirdness

I am against working in a blame culture. Where I work if a mistake is made, or if something goes wrong, the first question that is asked is “Whose fault is it?”. There is no understanding of the simple fact that mistake happen, and that the best way to deal with this is not to embarass or deride the person who made the mistake – a quiet word can make all the difference.

Apportioning blame is secondary if a different question is asked – “How do we fix this?” It would make all the difference.

Its endemic of a poor working culture, and to be honest, it is a management issue that has fed down through the ranks – and now if people do make a mistake, I doubt they would own up to it.

Only five more days left to work there – so its not all bad.
