"Who me?"
The fourth dysfunction is Avoidance of Accountability
It is very easy to blame others. However, when you do that you lose any power to change the situation. You have just given away the power and the glory by not taking any accountability.
I remember having a conversation with my son when he was little. I told him to stand in front of me. I aked him to give me a smile as if I had given him lots of money. He did. Next I asked him to make an angry face that would scare me. He did.
The lesson was in the next question. Who can make you smile or angry? He answered that only he can make himself smile or become angry.
By excepting the blame one puts themselves in a position to change the existing problem into an opportunity for improvement. None of us are perfect.
Today's question is:
"Can you accept the blame in order to get the accountability to change the situation?"
