The Blame Instinct, 9 of 10

Blaming an individual often steals the focus from other possible explanations.??Using scapegoats blocks our ability to prevent similar problems in the future.

You can manage this instinct by:

·???Look for causes, not villains - When something goes wrong don’t look for an individual or a group to blame. Accept that bad things can happen without anyone intending them to. Instead spend your energy on understanding the multiple interacting causes, or system, that created the situation.

·???Look for systems, not heroes - When someone claims to have caused something good, ask whether the outcome might have happened anyway, even if that individual had done nothing. Give the system some credit.

Post 9 of 10, Information adapted from?www.gapminder.org/factfulness/?&?Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World--and Why Things Are Better Than You Think.??To read the book Factfulness, go to the library or order your own copy?here
