But I never thought of it as a culture, I always saw it as fear. A paralysing fear of being responsible for something that goes wrong.
Personally, I've been responsible for lots of things that went wrong. And I have taken charge of fixing most of them.
But once in a while, I have taken responsibility for stuff that has turned out quite OK. And that's a good feeling. A feeling those paralysed people with their frightened little minds never get to have.

Keep doing what your doing and you will likely be very successful in life. Step outside that box and amazing things will happen, doors will open. I have employees who embrace their job, they take initiative and are accountable, others come in and punch the clock and get through the day and wonder why someone else got the promotion.
Unfortunately that response is no longer the norm.
We are training young people to rely on others to fix what is wrong in their lives rather than empowering them and no longer lead by example. It is a cultural thing. The behavior is learned.
I will stop and leave it at that as I am likely starting to offend as that is not my intent, nor do I wish to debate politics on a car forum.
