- Stay calm and avoid confrontation. Acknowledge the team effort to maintain professionalism. - Request a private meeting with your boss to discuss your role in the project. Highlight specific contributions and insights you provided. - Use "I" statements without criticizing others, e.g., “I initiated the concept that led to this outcome.” - Document your work progress and share regular updates with your manager to ensure visibility over time. - Propose solutions for better credit-sharing practices, showing your commitment to team success.

First, take a deep breath and resist the urge to confront or compete with your colleague. Instead, focus on subtly reasserting your ownership of the idea. When discussing the project with your boss, casually reference your original contribution. You might say, “As I mentioned in our team meeting last week, I suggested we explore X, Y, and Z approaches. I’m glad to see it’s gaining traction.” Consider these proactive strategies to prevent future spotlight theft: Before presenting ideas in team meetings, send a summary to your boss or the group via email or chat, timestamping your contribution. Also, when your colleague starts presenting your idea, jump in with a supportive comment, building upon their points.

Acredito que toda ideia funciona melhor ao ser compartilhada, já que é possível que as outras pessoas da equipe tenham novos pontos de vistas sobre aquela ideia e novas sugest?es, construindo, em conjunto, uma "ideia mais completa". N?o acho que o momento ideal seja recuperar a ideia na frente do chefe mas, se for o caso, vale a estratégia de parafrasear. Exemplo: "Ah, essa ideia é a que todos nós estávamos discutindo naquela reuni?o que a fulana disse isso e o outro disse isso e eu disse isso?". Acredito que essa abordagem recupere o crédito sem constranger a outra pessoa naquele momento. Mas, de novo, n?o acho que seja o momento ideal. Inicialmente conversaria com o colega para dar a chance de nos entendermos.
