One key reason: If a guy (or a department) reporting to you made a bad mistake, he feels this more than anyone else and he also suffers most. If the atmosphere is fault-tolerant he will want to discuss the subject and make sure everyone involved learns. If not, you employed the wrong person... mea culpa Blamestorming - I really love the expression! - has always been contraproductive.
