Often, it’s easy for managers to blame project delays and the problems that come with it on their team lead.

If an employees constantly fail to meet deadlines, it is good to look other things associated to the project like how their tasks are being structured, how much support is being offered to them, and how organized their working environment is.

is it right to blame the team lead for not meeting a deadline?

It depends. If the working conditions is favorable and conducive to working. Then the workers should be banned for not meeting up. However, if the reverse is the case, then the employer should be blamed for not giving the right tools and expect efficiency.
 
The kind of work to be done may be too big for the employees to handle in a short duration of time. Work should be structured in a way that affords employees the time to do it well and fast as possible. Unless the employees are lazy and incompetent then the blame should fall to them for not meeting the deadline.
 
Both the team leader and management are to be blamed, they both have their share of the fault. When a deadline is not met even after all needs were met and requirements given, the team leader is at fault, he/she should have put in more efforts to meet up. No client likes disappoint, it is part of what they consider before trusting you with responsibilities and money in future.
 
The project of an organization is a shared responsibility that everyone that is working on that project shares in the responsibility for it in one way or the other but the manager takes the highest responsibility as he is responsible for making things work through people.
 
As for me if am going to say anything I will put the blame on the worker because when you been given a deadline you really need to work on your deadline and work on whatever you been given because you really have to take your business serious than anything and it's really very important so much
 
It totally depends on the business settings. If a manager and his team failed to meet unexpected target I believe the manager and his team should shoulder the blame. The manager of the team needs to take more of the blame compared to others.
 
I have come to the personal opinion that a missed deadline is always the fault of poor management. This is of course not entirely true but in most cases is seems the management overscoped the project and/or made a silly deadline.

The blame should stop at the table of the employee that was responsible for the task. He ought to be blamed. It was his duty to meet the deadline and he should have informed the team lead about any challenges he his facing that could prevent him from meeting target.
 
Deadlines only shows level of unseriousness and waywardness in the parts of the manager and employees, in a saner clime a tag should be attached to serve as detriment to any, if found wanting. But nah its push down to the employees.

The team leader would be held responsible for any effect on the team, because he is in charge of the team, and he will also step forward to receive the glory of the team. So he should also carry the burden of the group too on his shoulder.
 
someone that has failed to meet the deadline for a particular tax or activities do not have anything to complain or any excuse again because you should have understand area that the arrangement they are doing will not favour for you and you should have said it on time for them to take immediate action

Yes, the team lead is the one that should be blamed as the person responsible for delay in project completion. See, I don't always understand why it should take some that far to complete projects when in the right way, they should have let the boss know of challenges that they encounter on the way.

For every project there is always a team leader appointed to lead the team. For every failure and every progress made by the team the lead should be the one to represent if a reward is giving ,it is the leader that will share it amongst the team mate.so the lead should carry the responsibility of the team either good or bad.
 
As mention there are lots of things associated with delay project. If the delay is as a result of team leader or co- workers negligence, then they can be blamed. But if other factors then they should not be blame.

Nobody should take the blame, any company where blames are being apportioned every time will not grow no matter what. Whenever there is any problem, company should try to look at it and correct it in the stead of apportioning blames to everyone.
 
Who should take the blame blame? At time the business owners us to get the blame for not providing what the workers while at times the worker should take the blame. But in the case where the owner gave all what he or she have to the worker and they still refuse to work, who should be blame? To me, the worker should take the blame.
 
The fact remains that if the team leader and his team were given all the necessary working tools like good working conditions and the nesesary financial back up requires to make things happen and the team could not produce any good lead or turnover, then they should receive the blame
