I couldn't agree more with this comment - and maybe I have a case of confirmation bias, but it's precisely the way I manage my team. Putting blame on someone doesn't help make problems go away - I've found that it just makes people defensive and makes the problem worse.
By setting a tone with questions like "What happened? How can we fix this problem from happening in future?" the team will end up finding solutions with technology or process.
As a manager, I feel you're job is to try and get your team to problem solve - using their tools and knowledge to come up with solutions.
In the example from the comment above, if someone is showing up high, or doing something really bad, then it's up to the manager to have the discussion about with the employee. Obviously if bad patterns repeat themselves then that's ground for termination.
