Don’t let them take the credit you deserve!!

If you are accountable for the missed deadline, if you are held responsible for things gone wrong then you equally deserve the credit for the task completed before time, and for that extra effort you made to deliver beyond expectation, but this is not the case for majority of employees in corporate or business structure.

No one is to blame but employees who feel deprived of the attention and credit they deserve, only because of their incompetency to get what they deserve.  They are either unaware of their basic moral rights or made to believe they don’t have any such rights. You will find many such people around who are always ready to steal the credit of the wonderful job you have done paving their own way to success, and casting the shadow of their success on you. So, go ahead claim the ownership of your work, grab the credit you deserve.  Don’t let them overshadow you.

What you can do?

·   Be "Report ready": keep the list of tasks you have accomplished in the previous week / day at your finger tip so that you can showcase your hard work at the slightest given opportunity to anyone

·         Get noticed on the go: Don’t wait till job is completed, let others guess that "it’s your baby" through excitement you show towards that particular work or task, without disclosing the details

·         Distribute the risk: keep more than one people in loop
