I do a very simple thing in this regard: * Whenever I talk about something that went right, I say we (providing I *was* involved, otherwise it's them. * When I talk about something that went wrong, I say me! So: We had a great idea at the meeting yesterday The latest version we released rocks The design they went with in the other group chose is amazing Or: The idea I suggested at the meeting yesterday turns out to be really bad I introduced an ugly bug in the latest version The design I though was good turned out to be terrible Good post and I agree: we need to consciously assign more appreciation to the people *really* doing the work.

I do a very simple thing in this regard:
* Whenever I talk about something that went right, I say we (providing I *was* involved, otherwise it’s them.
* When I talk about something that went wrong, I say me!

So:
We had a great idea at the meeting yesterday
The latest version we released rocks
The design they went with in the other group chose is amazing

Or:
The idea I suggested at the meeting yesterday turns out to be really bad
I introduced an ugly bug in the latest version
The design I though was good turned out to be terrible
