    Great question - I think it depends on the audience quite honestly. If I'm describing a success to someone I'm interviewing with, I may frame myself in a more positive light. But if the audience is internal then I try and divide the success/setbacks evenly. The best way to do it is to congratulate or shout out each person for their individual contribution (for successes). For setbacks, I think it's important to analyze what went wrong internally but it's not right to ever place the blame on one person (unless they intentionally did something to cause failure which doesn't happen that often!).
