What does a bad day look like? Playing the “blame game”

You likely know about the “blame game.”

Some “blame game” attributes include pointing fingers, making conclusions without performing a thorough investigation about what went wrong, and making on-the-spot conclusions. When we consider a recent accident—such as a pharmaceutical plant producing a bad batch of drugs and those drugs making their way past the QA process and, once distributed, ending up harming customers—one fact is indisputable: Human action broke down somewhere along the line. And the least productive next step is to begin a round of the blame game.
