In lively prose that is as engaging as it is illuminating, Dattner tells a host of true stories of those he has worked with - from the woman who was so scapegoated by her colleagues that she decided to quit, to the clueless boss who was too quick to blame his staff. He shares a wealth of insight from the study of human evolution and psychology to reveal the underlying reasons why people are so prone to blaming and credit-grabbing; it's not only human nature, it's found throughout the animal kingdom.

Negli uffici e nelle imprese non è raro trovare gente impegnata in qualcosa di diverso dal lavoro: il gioco della colpa, la "macchina del fango" in versione aziendale, in cui si cercano di ottenere credito e premi per sé e di scaricare sugli altri la responsabilità dei problemi, che ne siano causa o meno.

En la raíz de los problemas específicos de cualquier empresa subyace la dinámica de la asignación del reconocimiento y la culpa. En muchas oficinas la gente siente que está en medio de un juego de alto riesgo en el que puede "culpar o ser culpado", y en el que tiene que luchar no solo por hacer un buen trabajo, sino por conseguir el crédito que merece por hacerlo. La dificultad radica en que muchas empresas fomentan una cultura de la culpa.
