Most people who have worked in Corporate America for a few years eventually encounter what is commonly called a culture of blame. Organizations who become more focused on attributing blame rather than focusing on understanding and resolving the actual problems. Even those who don’t actively participate in attributing blame in such environments find that they must adopt a strategy of deflecting blame, which effectively only reinforces the problem. I knew the history of blame and scapegoating had a long history, but I had no idea just how far back this concept goes in our culture possibly as far back as 2500 years.
