I've worked with dozens of companies of various sizes over my career, and I've always found that this type of attitude starts at the top of the company. If managers are kind, curious, and tolerant of risks that might reap rewards, it is an indication the person at the top is running it that way. If people are "blame-first, ask questions later" types, the person at the top is inevitably running the show by focusing on mistakes and miss-steps and their people follow suit. As result, people become wary of taking risk and run to assign blame, even before existence of an issue can be validated. As a result, I don't think you can change these organizations. If their temperament doesn't match your own, you have to live with it or craft an escape plan.
