"blamestorming" - my new favorite word of the day.
- raganwald 18y agoMy understanding is that the word describes a particular kind of group behaviour where everyone is blaming everyone and everything except themselves. So I misused it to describe a CEO blaming other people, it would be more accurate to think of a management meeting where the CEO, PResident, and various VPs are all weaseling out of responsibility by trying to pin it on something else. Vehemently! A colleague introduced the phrase to me in conjunction with Hurricane factors. So walking into a meeting to discuss why a particualr release was late, he would whisper to me, "Stand by for a Force Three Blamestorm!"
