The easy way to destroy any sense of responsibility is to create mud about who is taking point.

Don’t throw actions into the wind (when everyone’s busy and no one is looking for yet more things to grab a hold of).
Don’t set a rabbit running and two dogs to chase it down (one gets there first, job done (good for you), when the second arrives, their wasted effort will teach them doubt you next time … and not bother).
Mud? Avoid-ability and doubt.
