Blame Is a Dead End: Michael Bassey on Where Accountability Actually Sits

Michael’s argument is that accountability and blame are not the same thing, and that treating them as interchangeable is what keeps organizations stuck. People make mistakes. The question is whether the system was built to absorb them, and whether leaders held to the standards they set for everyone else. He walks through the connection directly, from a meeting that starts fifteen minutes late without an apology, to the PPE that stops going on properly downstairs, to the investigation that writes it all up as a frontline failure.
