How can I improve human interaction in the office?

Blame vs. Solutions

When things go wrong on the job, resist the urge to start placing blame, and pointing fingers. Management is usually more interested in damage control. So, add to your personal value and professional image by presenting viable solutions rather than spending a lot of time dwelling on the cause. Caution: Don't ignore the cause completely, as the solution may lie in understanding why the problem occurred to begin with.
