Zero Blame Culture

Ever hear this in the office?
“Who messed this up?”
“This is unacceptable!”
“We’re going to have to start over.”

Stop Pointing Fingers.
Start Building Bridges.

In these #nudenotes, we're talking about building and nurturing a zero blame culture.
Shout out Mido Atef whose infographic I came across on LinkedIn inspired this spread of notes.

Blame breeds fear—and fear kills creativity and innovation.
But in a zero blame culture, the narrative flips:

"Mistakes are opportunities for growth.”
“We learn more from failure than success.”
“Together, we’re stronger.”

When your team feels safe to fail, they’re empowered to innovate, problem-solve, and bounce back stronger.

It’s not just about avoiding blame - it’s about creating an environment where trust thrives, and people feel free to do their best work.

Blame holds you back.
Support propels you forward.

Ask yourself:
Is your team pointing fingers, or building bridges?

What’s one way your team creates psychological safety net?
