Short: Getting Credit for Your Work

“Document everything for yourself because if you’re not an advocate for yourself, who are you an advocate for?”

You have great ideas. You do great work. But how can you make sure that you are the one getting credit for all of your effort? Our panel weighs in on valuable tips and tricks to make sure that the improvements you bring to the table are not lost within your organization and that your leaders are aware that it is you that has delivered value time and time again.

  • Document everything
  • Be vocal – tell leaders what you want to try
  • Find your advocates
  • Create a safe space to fail
  • Don’t be afraid to innovate – ask, “what can I do differently”
  • Ask for feedback
  • Encourage others to speak up
