Q: What If You Worked With Someone Who Managed To 'Take Credit' For All Your Great Ideas. How Would You Handle It?

The document provides advice for handling a coworker who takes credit for your ideas. It recommends first giving them credit for their own ideas to encourage reciprocation. If that does not work, present only your own ideas to bosses and discuss the situation with the coworker. However, if it is a boss taking credit, tread carefully as making superiors shine is part of the job, as long as you still receive proper rewards like raises and promotions.

Q: What if you worked with someone who managed to 'take credit' for all your great ideas.

How would you handle it? A: First, I would try to credit her publicly with the ideas that were hers. Sometimes, by being generous with credit, it spurs the other person to "return the favor." If that doesn't solve it, I'd try to work out an arrangement where we each agreed to present the ideas that were our own to our bosses. If that doesn't work, I would openly discuss the situation with her. However, if the person taking credit for my ideas was my boss, I would tread cautiously. To some extent, I believe that my job is to make my superiors shine. If I were being rewarded for my ideas with raises and promotions, I would be happy.
