chosen: 1. Make sure to select a target that has both a sense of accountability and authority - for example the boss, a teacher, or a parent.
  
  2. In the aftermath of whatever happened, quickly deflect responsibility - "It's not my fault; it's up to them to decide" or "I did what I could; the rest is out of my hands".
  
  3. Deny that you were involved in the decision-making process - pretend like you only followed orders without any input in the matter. 
  
  4. Blame the person who failed first for their role - "You should've known better; you have to take responsibility for your actions".
