Problems occur, and assessing them is crucial to avoid future mistakes. However, focusing on finding someone to blame rather than solving the problem creates an additional issue.
When something goes wrong, the first step is to act quickly to fix it. Later, you and your team can examine the incident to determine the cause and develop solutions to prevent its recurrence.
This approach minimises the impact and prevents the situation from worsening. After addressing the immediate concerns, it’s beneficial for the team to come together to analyse the cause of the problem. This analysis isn’t about assigning blame but understanding what went wrong and how similar issues can be prevented in the future.
‘Whatever the problem, be part of the solution. Don’t just sit around raising questions and pointing out obstacles,’ said Tina Fey.
