Just like Lori and others above have said - build the courage to speak up. Do proper documentation to back up your claim and don’t be shy to not speak up in meetings and in forums where ideas or work is being discussed. Be respectful but that does not mean to just let go and not speak up and be your own advocate.

En lo personal aplico las siguientes estrategias con el fin de mantener claros mis aportes en un proyecto o actividad asignada: 1.Documentar cambios a traves de una matriz de cambios. 2.Asignar responsables a cada actividad dentro del plan de trabajo. 3. Establecer líneas de comunicación donde participen todos los interesados al momento de recibir la documentación o resultados del proyecto o actividad que este a mi cargo.

When a colleague is stealing credit for your work, it's important to protect your career growth by addressing the situation thoughtfully and professionally. First, document your contributions and ensure that your work is visible to key stakeholders. If the issue persists, have a direct, calm conversation with the colleague, expressing your concerns and seeking clarity on how credit should be shared. It’s crucial to maintain professionalism, even if it’s uncomfortable. If necessary, involve a manager or HR to mediate the situation. In the long run, focus on building strong relationships and cultivating a reputation for transparency, collaboration, and leadership.

When a colleague takes credit for your work, focus on protecting your growth strategically. Document your contributions thoroughly with emails and updates to create a clear record. Regularly share progress and results with stakeholders to ensure visibility. Build strong relationships with your team and managers, so your efforts are naturally recognized.

Strengthen your personal brand through networking and external visibility to establish credibility beyond the workplace. Focus on long-term success, not short-term setbacks.

Ce sont des faits qui arrivent très souvent en Entreprise. Et j'en ai été victime à plusieurs reprises. Pour moi c'etait des documents de travail élaborer par mes soins. Mon seul regret était que mes documents étaient anonymes. La résolution que j'ai eu a prendre et que je continue d'appliquer : prendre l'habitude de personnaliser tous mes documents et les partager sous format non modifiable.
