The moment you blame someone or something else for the problem, you are lost.
Blame is abdication and distraction. Blame is an attempt to distance oneself from the problem. This has an ugly side effect of simultaneously distancing oneself from the solution. You are sooooo much more powerful than that.
Far better to
- engage everyone who matters,
- spell out what is true now,
- uncover what everyone wants to be true in the future,
- make a plan to bridge the gap between what is and what is wanted.
Blame no one; blame nothing.
In your corner,
