When communicating nondefensively, objectify the situation rather than objectifying a coworker as the origin of an issue. This is managed by asking clarifying questions so that you can gather data before assigning fault. Usually, correctable situations take place as a result of miscommunication, or a mixture of other factors that contributed to poor decision making or confused messaging. Objectifying the situation with an emotionally mature sense of where matters moved in the wrong direction redirects focus on how communication can be improved upon, rather than creating defensiveness by dropping blame.

"I rate my communication skills as a 9/10 as I will, on occasion, have times when I am not as clear as I would like to be. My supervisor and co-workers will attest to my clear and concise communication skills. Because I am an open leader, my team will let me know if I need to clarify anything."

"I will rate myself an 8.5 because I consider myself a strong communicator. It is the foundation of all success in business. I am always striving to be a better communicator, so I leave the rest of the scale as an aspirational measure."
