Reattribution

Shifting blame or responsibility to a more accurate, balanced distribution instead of taking all or none.

Troy Aikman and the Cowboys' Early Struggles

High fit

Reattribution helped Troy Aikman shift from taking all the blame for his team's early failures to understanding that success requires the right support system. When Norv Turner arrived as offensive coordinator in Aikman's third year, he stopped trying to force things and started trusting the system around him. Aikman realized his early struggles weren't entirely his fault and that he needed proper coaching and scheme to succeed, moving from self-blame to balanced attribution of responsibility.
