Download or read book The Blame Game written by Christopher Hood and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The blame game, with its finger-pointing and mutual buck-passing, is a familiar feature of politics and organizational life, and blame avoidance pervades government and public organizations at every level. Political and bureaucratic blame games and blame avoidance are more often condemned than analyzed. In The Blame Game, Christopher Hood takes a different approach by showing how blame avoidance shapes the workings of government and public services. Arguing that the blaming phenomenon is not all bad, Hood demonstrates that it can actually help to pin down responsibility, and he examines different kinds of blame avoidance, both positive and negative. Hood traces how the main forms of blame avoidance manifest themselves in presentational and "spin" activity, the architecture of organizations, and the shaping of standard operating routines. He analyzes the scope and limits of blame avoidance, and he considers how it plays out in old and new areas, such as those offered by the digital age of websites and e-mail. Hood assesses the effects of this behavior, from high-level problems of democratic accountability trails going cold to the frustrations of dealing with organizations whose procedures seem to ensure that no one is responsible for anything. Delving into the inner workings of complex institutions, The Blame Game proves how a better understanding of blame avoidance can improve the quality of modern governance, management, and organizational design.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lack of personal accountability is a problem that has resulted in an epidemic of blame, victim thinking, complaining, and procrastination. No organization—or individual—can successfully compete in the marketplace, achieve goals and objectives, provide outstanding service, engage in exceptional teamwork, or develop people without personal accountability. John G. Miller believes that the troubles that plague organizations cannot be solved by pointing fingers and blaming others. Rather, the real solutions are found when each of us recognizes the power of personal accountability. In QBQ! The Question Behind the Question®, Miller explains how negative, ill-focused questions like “Why do we have to go through all this change?” and “Who dropped the ball?” represent a lack of personal accountability. Conversely, when we ask better questions—QBQs—such as “What can I do to contribute?” or “How can I help solve the problem?” our lives and our organizations are transformed. THE QBQ! PROMISE This remarkable and timely book provides a practical method for putting personal accountability into daily actions, with astonishing results: problems are solved, internal barriers come down, service improves, teams thrive, and people adapt to change more quickly. QBQ! is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to learn, grow, and change. Using this tool, each of us can add tremendous worth to our organizations and to our lives by eliminating blame, victim-thinking, and procrastination. QBQ! was written more than a decade ago and has helped countless readers practice personal accountability at work and at home. This version features a new foreword, revisions and new material throughout, and a section of FAQs that the author has received over the years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The church has become one of the most hated organizations in the world. Almost every day, Christians are walking away from the church because its teachings have become more about money and materialism rather than God. We can clearly see that the heart of the church is leaning more toward prosperity than toward God. Preaching the Word of God has also become nothing more than another way of making a living, and the pulpits are full of false preachers who are taking full advantage of this. And because of the false doctrines of "tithing" and "seed, sow, and harvest," families are being ripped apart. Husbands are leaving their wives because they're giving their last dollar to the preachers and vice versa. This has been a strategy for a long time that the enemy has been using against Christians by teaching them false doctrines while concealing the truth. In Phillip A. Mikle Sr.'s eye-opening book Blame It on the Church, it uncovers God's most kept secret from mankind "THE MYSTERY ABOUT THE TRINITY," God is not three persons but one. This book unmasks the world's biggest scams which are "Tithing and seed, sow, and harvest." You will be informed about false preachers who the author calls "smooth criminals." This book uncovers the truth about "once saved, always saved, God will not allow his son to simply be an escape route on judgment day. And you will learn the truth about what is really going to happen when Christ returns to Earth. Like it or not, these are facts and this book is a must-read. The author makes it plain and simple for anyone who desperately want to know the truth. And, don't get upset when you discover why many are pointing their fingers at the church and blaming it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who’s to Blame? Collective Guilt on Trial presents a psychoanalytic exploration of blame and collective guilt in the aftermath of large-scale atrocities that cause widespread trauma and victimization. Coline Covington explores various aspects of social and collective guilt and considers how both perpetrators and victims make sense of their experiences, with particular reference to group behavior and political morality. Covington challenges the concept of collective guilt associated with the aftermath of large-scale atrocities such as the Holocaust and examines the moral pressure placed on perpetrators to exhibit guilt as part of a realignment of political power and a process of restoring social morality. Who’s to Blame? Collective Guilt on Trial concludes with a chapter-length case study examining Russia’s war in Ukraine. Combining psychoanalytic ideas with political, philosophical and social theory, Who’s to Blame? Collective Guilt on Trial will be of great value to readers interested in questions of collective guilt, blame and the possibilities of atonement. It will also appeal to psychoanalysts in practice and in training, and to academics of psychoanalytic studies, political philosophy, sociology and conflict resolution.
