1 Document It

When you notice your boss taking credit for your work, start by documenting instances where this has happened. Keep emails, meeting notes, or any written communication that clearly shows your contribution to the projects in question. This evidence can serve as a foundation for your case if you decide to discuss the matter with your boss or need to escalate the situation. Documentation also helps to remove ambiguity and ensures that you have a clear record of your work.

If its happen to me, I will let it till time will tell. Coz people around you really notice of what you did or your achievement, so if somebody taking the credit, they will also will notice of what kind of leadership he or she is playing.

2 Speak Up

Once you have your documentation in order, consider having a private conversation with your boss. Approach the discussion with a focus on seeking clarity rather than confrontation. Express how you feel about the situation and ask for your boss's perspective. Sometimes, it could be a misunderstanding or lack of awareness. By speaking up, you're advocating for yourself and setting the stage for future recognition.

Not always this has a wrong intention. Take it easy if it is the first time, breathe and try to understand. Sometimes your boss may want to protect you, sometimes not. If it is not the first time, well, go around and show your work for those who will buy it and that is it!

3 Seek Feedback

In your conversation, also seek feedback on your work. This serves two purposes: it demonstrates your commitment to professional growth and subtly reminds your boss of your contributions. Feedback can provide insights into your boss's expectations and help you understand how to position your work better in the future. It also opens the door for a discussion about appropriate credit and acknowledgment moving forward.

4 Build Allies

Creating a network of allies within your workplace can be an invaluable asset. Share your ideas with colleagues and involve them in your projects when appropriate. Having others who are aware of your contributions can provide additional support and validation. This network can also help amplify your voice within the organization, making it harder for others to overlook your contributions.

5 Go Higher

If the issue persists despite your efforts, it may be time to escalate the matter. This could mean talking to your boss's supervisor or human resources. When you take this step, ensure you present your case professionally, focusing on the facts and the impact of the situation on your motivation and productivity. Escalation should be a last resort after you've tried to resolve the issue directly with your boss.

6 Protect Ideas

Finally, consider strategies to protect your ideas from being taken without credit in the future. This might involve sharing your ideas in group settings, sending emails with your suggestions to multiple recipients, or presenting your proposals in written form with clear attribution. By creating a trail that leads back to you, it becomes more difficult for others to claim your ideas as their own.

Respectfully, politely and positively communicate your idea in writing (in addition to verbally) -- and that it is yours (and anyone else who has contributed) -- to create a record, evidence and proof should you later find that helpful. Save that communication and all related subsequent communication in a folder, discreetly labeled.

This happened to me twice. It was unexpected, shocking and hurtful. No apologies. LESSONS LEARNED: 1) Calculate the "trust" balance someone has in their "account" with you and also, if you can, you with them. Are they trustworthy? Do they trust you? 2) Know their motivational drivers: Is it praise? Advancement? 3) While we should be less concerned with who gets the credit, nearly everyone likes to be recognized and appreciated and benefit for the value we offer. Keep giving because it will keep your mind working correctly and at peak effectiveness. 3) Communicate clearly, in writing for the record that it is your idea. 4) No longer trust those who act unethically and show little-to-no remorse and who fail to correct wrongdoing.
