When something went wrong, and it was my fault, I was expected to take accountability. This was rewarded by not having folks try to smear or attack me. It was a simple statement of fact. We found the problem, and took steps to mitigate (which could include removing me from the project).
No rancor, no name-calling, no status games.
Needless to say, this did not translate to the American management, who liked to do a sack dance.
