ygolo, I just want to clarify that my last several posts have not been in response to the OP but to this:
My reasoning is simple. When one thing goes wrong then the person who committed the mistake is responsible. When the whole group commits a mistake collectively then the leader is responsible. The leader by definition is responsible for the group he leads.
This doesn't sound like the whole group making a mistake collectively. The "seams" is basically a breakdown in communication between two parties. There should be some type of communication between the two groups to smooth over the "seams" though.
ygolo said:The question is most relavent when a group of people make a mistake collectively, and all of them point to different reasons that things went wrong.

Most of the bugs we uncover are very subtle, and intricate. To say that some "big-picture" person should take care of such things is preposterous in my mind. The bugs however, show-up heavily in the "seams" (and there are always seems no matter how many "liasons" you add). Certainly shifting resources to reduce where bugs come from is within the scope of a manager or "leader," but closing the "seams" between the part I own and the parts that other people own is my responsibility.
