You’re part of a team and a mistake is made in performing the task. ‘Everyone’ knows about it. What’s your reaction? Options are:
- Protest your innocence, since you were present but not directly involved
- State very clearly that you were not there when it happened
- Offer to be the scapegoat and have the blame laid on you
- Get angry and look for someone to take responsibility
- Sulk and complain to anyone who will listen
- Select who you think is the weakest link, placing total blame on them
- Accept the criticism and move on as mistakes happen
- Accept the criticism and suggest improvements to the methods of working
Which approach is most effective? What gives it power?
