Responsibility/blame/credit is subadditive: if my share is X and your share is Y, our combined share Z will be such that Z ≤ X + Y. And the only way that Z = X + Y is if we are responsible for disjoint parts of the phenomenon and may never communicate.
What then is the point of the blame game? Obviously not to deflect responsibility, but quite the opposite: to identify what persons have to change their behavior, what tasks need to be reassigned, redefined or renegotiated, what processes must be improved.

Can we organize in mutually productive ways? It will take efforts on both our parts. "Communication is a two-way street. Miscommunication is a two-side gap." But if we ultimately fail, better that we part and both find other co-workers we can be productive with.

Ultimately, as the lead, it's my responsibility more than yours, as far as the job is concerned. But it's your responsibility more than mine as far as your own career is concerned.
