Editor’s note: In the workplace, some of them have definitely encountered the experience of the boss privately taking the results of your work. In this case, as a subordinate, should you express your doubts, dissatisfaction and even indignation to your boss? The original title of this article is Letting Your Boss Take Credit for Your Ideas Is a Power Move. The author Jessica Powell believes that if your boss robs you of your credit, you should look at it from a positive perspective. At the same time, Jessica also introduced several methods of implicit euphemism, so that you can correctly communicate with your boss and hope to be useful to you.

In the workplace, my boss always likes to take the results of my work and invites in his name. For this reason, I am going crazy. What should I do?
For this problem, let’s “avoid not talk.” Then, we will think about another problem in turn: the boss has robbed you of your credit, what is wrong with you?
Undoubtedly, when you see that your hard work has been “stealed”, you will be upset, even daring but not daring. However, behind the boss’s robbing you of the merits, there must be a positive side. Sometimes these benefits are even more beneficial to your personal development.
First of all, in many jobs, good or bad, the boss’s verbal opinion is definitely more weighty than the person around you. So, although you really want everyone to praise you, but you should be the one who wants to please, but your boss.
When your work results are presented to the CEO’s office or shared across the company, but you don’t have your signature, you may be unhappy. However, what you should realize is that it is because your direct supervisor feels that your work is good enough to “fall”.
So, “help” your boss becomes better in the eyes of others, and you can at least get further protection in terms of job stability.
Secondly, in many companies, “stupid” and “rank” are two very real problems.
There are always people who are self-important, and when they receive emails from the generals, they won’t open it at all, let alone make a constructive response. This type of person is extremely disgusting! But almost all companies have such people.
So, your boss may copy the plan or report you submitted intact, so that his boss will read it and take it seriously. Of course, from another perspective, it can be understood that your results have been endorsed by management.

But if you analyze these aspects very rationally, still feel that you have not benefited from it, and what should you do if your boss should not snatch your labor? How do you stop this savage and arrogant behavior?
In fact, when solving most problems or conflicts in the workplace, we can all rely on a proverb: Honesty is the best policy.
But I think that most managers, even very good managers, may be pretending to take precautionary responses if they are pointed out to be hypocritical and selfish. But then again, if you have a good relationship with your boss and think that you can solve this problem cautiously, then go ahead and do it. However, your method must be correct.
First of all, when asking this question, try to leadGreater business or work goals. For example, you can say this:
I noticed that you forwarded my project proposal to another department head, but I didn’t have my signature on the plan. I think that you must have your consideration in doing this. However, because of [insert work reasons], I especially hope to establish a good working relationship with A and the team she leads. Therefore, the next time you pass on my results to him, I will be grateful if I can add my signature.
Secondly, you can borrow the “slap you a slap and give you a sugar” approach, and immediately express your position to the division, and work related to A and its departments. You are willing to provide help as far as you can. Even if you can’t think of specific help content at the moment, you can let your boss know your thoughts directly through this non-confrontational approach.
If you want to express your thoughts humbly and at the same time take into account the personal self-esteem of your boss, you can also take the initiative to be passive, give up the “high-profile” help, and turn to “squatting service” to understand The boss’s needs, when he needs your help, you can do it on call. Which boss does not like such a subordinate?
Again, you can solve this problem by indirect euphemism. If you generally agree with and accept your boss, and you don’t want to do things, you can solve this problem in a variety of non-confrontational ways.
For example, you can anonymously feed back your concerns in the annual assessment. Or you can try to communicate with HR. However, in the process of communication, you must be flexible. After all, your feedback on HR may be relayed to your boss in various forms. As long as you are engaged in consulting purposes, rather than going to inform, then your feedback on HR may eventually be handed over to your boss through some constructive advice or advice.

Finally, I also remind you of the management responsibilities: If you like to rush, and you have to do this based on business factors, then. However, when sharing or “stealing” these labor results, you should reflect your tolerance and wisdom as a leader.
For example, in the sharing process, always remember to keep the signature of the employee concerned. Or, replace your personal signature with a team signature when sending mail. These practices allow team members to see your recognition of them, but also cause more attention from company leaders.
However, if you really have to grab a job because of a certain factor and only share or submit the results of your work in your own name, you should also communicate with the relevant staff in a timely manner. By communicating with each other, at least to alleviate or eliminate the abhorrent or dissatisfaction of subordinate employees.
In addition, whenever you can, within the reach of your ability, letting others understand the team members behind the work results is also far-reaching for you as a boss. The excellence of the team members means your excellence. The more attention and attention your team members have, the stronger your team’s overall ability. Ultimately, all results can be attributed to your leadership.
As long as you stick to it, you can more confidently empower team members to perform more tasks over time. As a boss, you will have more time to do more important things. For example, try to create a “personal brand”, rehearse the next TEDx speech, or spend time on a variety of “leadership thinking” themed “tours.”
