Who Should Take The Blame For Not Meeting Deadline?

[Shigobad20201]

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

There are some organisation that always lay the blame of not meeting the deadline on their workers which is a very bad thing to do, the leader must bear the blame of not finishing the project on time.

Although, one should realize when one fails to meet up with responsibilities and deadlines but I do not believe in blame game, it waste time that could have been spent in finding solutions.

I actually think that whenever a business deadline is not melt then all the stakeholders in the business that are in one way or the other connected to the just blind should be blamed for it failure because they're the ones that actually should ensure that the deadline be met.

When giving deadline it is appropriate to provide every necessary tools to support the meeting of such deadline. As to the manager blaming team lead for failure to meet deadlines,we must know also that a superior to the manager would have blamed the manager himself.

If a worker is being tax with the opportunity of doing and completing a project and it does not complete it then he should be the one that should be held responsible for it and if possible his team.

But that is not the right thing ,because the money the government is paying them is not increasing but the cost of food and every other materials is increasing in the market ,how will they be able to cover the extra expenses ?

No matter how you look at it, venturing into business needs a lot of planning and preparation which most people are not ready to sacrifice. When things becomes more expensive in the markets, they will also adjust their spending on things.

I think the manager should be the one that will take the blame for not making the deadline set by the clients. He is in the position to motivate to work as to meet up with subject and deadline. If he is relaxed the workers are going to do the same.

Well if you think that planning is really necessary for us to succeed in a business I might stand with but proper planning only is not hundred percent guarantee that the business is going to succeed @Setfragil

To start with, no one will be happy if an agreement or deadline is not met. So it is advisable to make agreement or deadline you can meet to avoid problem. And I think the situation should be analysed to be sure of the reason (s) for the disappointment, if no genuine excuse or reason, then the defaulter should be blamed. It is my opinion though.

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.

That is very right. In command and responsibility, it's still the manager who is to be blamed even for the fault of his employees. It's the manager who hired his employees. He is supposed to choose the people that is needed and right for the job. I agree that the manager takes the highest responsibility because he is responsible also for the people.

The owner of the business should take blame for his business when he couldn't meet deadlines he has no one to blame but to blame himself.

The owner of the business should take blame for his business when he couldn't meet deadlines he has no one to blame but to blame himself.

The owner of a business should not be the only one to blame when the organisation and staff could not meet a certain deadline because it takes two to Tango so you just can't blame the head of the organisation and cut off the remaining part of the organisation.

Well,it is the responsibility of the business manager to decide who is capable of working for them. when they find out that people are not capable they have the decision to decide either to throw the person out or still managed the person.

When a manager is not able to handle employees who are under them, the manager himself or herself might get terminated by the seniors. In order to avoid such situation, the manager himself or herself suspends employees who do not take their job seriously. This happens everywhere and i have also seen this myself.

The manager have an equal right almost like the owner of the business, they have the right to decide who they should be suspended and those that are not to be suspended ,it is not the duty of the senior manager or owner of the business.

 

[jeff87]

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.

That is really really very true. The employee is to be hold accountable in not meeting that deadline.

It's correct that it is sole responsibility to meet that required deadline.

Yes, they do have the choice to do that and I believe this is why many employees fear managers because they have the power to do so. Apart from hiring or firing, a good manager also tries to groom his or her employees and try to make the best version of their employees.

In everyday business you are working,it is always the manager that you will be facing and therefore it is even advisable for you to know the manager more than the real owner, when a company has a good manager they will not even look for proof because the prove will show itself.

An employee is mostly responsible for not meeting the deadline but sometimes they are not responsbile. Sometimes the customer is equally responsible for not giving guidelines properly.

I think all the blame should go to the leader. He or she is saddled with the duty of organizating members, and when things go wrong the blame goes to them.

Well if the leader are not able to meet up to the deadline I think this should also be blamed on the employee because as an individual you also have the right to act when the leaders are not doing it.

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?

To some extent but not in all cases because you might not know what the team leader is going through and some time appreciating people with little token can really be a motivating factor.
