Acredito que seja importante construir uma boa rela??o com a sua lideran?a direta, como uma maneira de dar visibilidade prévia para alta gest?o sobre sua abordagem para resolver problemas da empresa, desta forma é possível construir a sua reputa??o com os decisores. Com rela??o ao colega de trabalho, é importante ter uma conversa direta e sincera sobre os ultimos fatos e buscar entender a percep??o dele sobre o assunto. Se de fato, houver má fé, é importante formalizar suas contribui??es de forma pública, seja em reunioes ou comunicando seu foco e solu??es para a sua lideran?a de forma a garantir suporte executivo em caso deste colega repetir o mesmo comportamento.

If a colleague is taking credit for my ideas, I would first speak to them privately and kindly ask them about it. I would explain how I feel and let them know I’d appreciate it if they gave credit where it’s due. I’d also make sure to share my ideas in a way that’s visible to others, like in emails or team meetings. so everyone knows I’m contributing. If needed, I could speak to my manager to get advice. This way, I can handle it respectfully while standing up for myself and my work.

I was once asked by a colleague and friend “How I felt about so many of my ideas being claimed as their own by so many people in the company?” my response was “They can steal my ideas but they can’t steal my creativity!” In the end such people come and go but true talent prevails.
