True or Fale: Nobody ever makes a decision about anything anywhere.
Few are interested in being THE decision maker – the “buck stops here” – type. The same for assuming responsibility for a project, assignment, or group performance.
Where is the “I am the wo/man in charge! I take full responsibility for the success or failure of this decision, performance, etc”?

Most corporate decisions and plans are performed through “Ouija Board” management. All fingers in the mix but participation limited to demonstrating a contribution but far clear of taking the fall when something untoward occurs.
Why?
In many (most) circles, success is defined by “not making a mistake” instead of “superior performance.”
Dare I suggest that this has slowly become a defining aspect of modern American?
