Perimeter of the Mind: The Blame Reflex

A new strand on Dark Perimeter, pointed inward at the one perimeter nobody documents: your own. Cole Drayden breaks down what is actually happening when a manager reaches for a culprit instead of a cause, why blame lands hardest on the people who already hold themselves to a stricter standard, and why he forgets it in a week while you carry it far longer.Covered: blame as a coping mechanism for uncertainty rather than an assessment of you, the three moves that work while your pulse is up, a three bucket triage for sorting signal from heat, running your own blameless postmortem in parallel with his, getting ahead of the reflex by removing surprise, and the honest line between a manager with a temper and an environment that has turned hostile.Support the show
