  "account": "Organizational sociologist Judith Jules Muster argues that when companies fail, the blame is often misplaced on individuals, such as leaders or team members, rather than on the underlying structures that govern their work. She contends that it is usually the organization's structures, rather than individual competence, that determine success or failure. Muster identifies a phenomenon she calls \"structural protection,\" where companies avoid addressing structural issues and instead opt for superficial solutions, such as coaching or new methods like Scrum.",
  "summary": "Organizational sociologist Judith Muster researches why processes and projects fail in companies. In an interview, she explains why it's rare for just the managers to be blamed.",
