When things go wrong, you deflect. It's a delicate dance, a subtle art form.
Imagine you're a CEO of a company that's been caught with its pants down (literally). The press is on your doorstep, the public is outraged, and your investors are getting a little too close to the action for comfort.
You can't just admit fault, that would be so... human. No, no, no. You need to deflect, to spin, to make it look like it was always someone else's fault.
And that's where our Deflecting by Accusation technique comes in. It's a classic. A masterclass in misdirection. A... see it in action with our example of deflection, where a certain someone tries to shift the blame to their trusty sidekick, Bob.
Or, if you're feeling adventurous, take a peek at our Deflecting by Accusation: A Case Study in Corporate Shenanigans to see how a certain CEO managed to turn the whole 'blame game' on its head. And its head.
Note: Deflecting the blame is an art form, not a science. It requires practice, dedication, and a healthy dose of shamelessness. Don't try this at home, kids.
