@yasarahmad_: Check the link in my bio to find out immediately how to get promoted without playing politics, get that new job and be seen as a leader + get my free audio book. The move to make when a colleague takes credit for your work in front of leadership. Don't flinch. Don't interrupt. Don't shoot them a look. Let them finish the sentence. Then - calm as anything - say this. 'Just to add some context on that - when [specific detail only you would know], we found X, which is what led to the decision. Happy to walk through the thinking.' That's it. Watch what just happened. You didn't call them out. You didn't embarrass them. You didn't get emotional. You just inserted a level of detail they couldn't have had - because they didn't do the work. Leadership clocks it instantly. Every single time. Senior people are scanning the room for this kind of micro-signal. They know. And the colleague who tried to take the credit? They can't push back. Because any pushback now exposes them further. After the meeting, send a short note: 'Good session today - attaching the underlying analysis in case helpful for the board pack.' One email. One timestamp. One record. That's how grown-ups protect their work. Send this to yourself as a Reminder and follow for more.
no need to protect your work: teamwork. we win together we lose together. People who try to claim the teams worn as their own usually end up at the door. thats where you leave the ego when you get to work.
