Blame Culture made our workplaces toxic.
Can we move beyond it?
From Main Street to Wall Street, toxic work cultures are scaring off talent, killing innovation, and crippling creative solutions, all of which wreaks havoc on the bottom line. Meanwhile, workers everywhere feel trapped in the hostility of today’s work environment.
Unless we intentionally root out the blame habit, we end up contributing to the cultivation of a blame culture.
In this pioneering book, creativity consultant Dustin Staiger reveals blame as the underlying cause preventing us from doing profoundly innovative work. As much as we’d like to, blame cannot simply be ignored, it has to be dealt with. But we must handle it with grace (literally) to detox our individual habits and group culture. This empowers us to finally rehabilitate the innate talent in and around us, rescue valuable contributions, and resuscitate our potential for success.
Throughout Blame This Book, you’ll discover a contrarian wisdom that flies in the face of today’s management practices.
- Blame creates more problems than it solves
- Blame doesn’t improve employee motivation or accountability
- Blame sabotages your efforts and creates toxic work cultures
Find pragmatic answers to the questions holding you back from being healthier, happier, and more profitable.
- If I don’t blame someone, won’t others take advantage of me?
- How can we resolve failures without blaming somebody?
- Does this really lead to more profit, or is it just wishful thinking?
