Description
Finger pointing as a clear demonstration of blame culture undermines any relationship, team and organisation. While finger pointing, we look for the easy answer or exit instead of the harder work, deny our own responsibility in the process and obstruct constructive solutions or second chances. We jeopardize long-term connections and foster an unrealistic ‚no-fail‘ culture. It is destructive.
This workshop explores the impact of finger-pointing within any organisation and the customer’s perception of this significant behaviour. We also discuss techniques to manage finger-pointing done by the customer and walk the fine line between ‚taking one for the team‘ and ‚saving your own face‘. Finally we focus on establishing and maintaining a professional yet demanding collaboration.
