00:00:00.000 Why do bosses blame their team and not themselves?

00:00:02.540 Who f***ing hired them?

00:00:03.700 Who trained them?

00:00:04.360 You blame somebody on your team when there's a mistake.

00:00:07.020 You didn't train them.

00:00:07.920 You didn't create a dashboard for them.

00:00:09.320 You didn't tell them what greatness looks like.

00:00:11.260 If somebody makes a mistake on my team,

00:00:13.020 first thing I ask myself is how did I contribute to this?

00:00:16.040 Then I ask myself, is there a process

00:00:18.080 that they were supposed to follow to achieve this outcome?

00:00:20.720 If the answer is no, bad on me.

00:00:22.260 Then I ask myself, if there was a process and they followed it,

00:00:24.380 but it didn't get the result, did I properly train them?

00:00:26.740 Now, if both of those answers are yes,

00:00:28.520 Then I know I don't have a process problem, I have a people problem.

00:00:31.620 Bosses blame their team, leaders blame themselves.
