Hi Bonnie,
Once upon a time I had a boss who took credit for my ideas – his peers told me about that. I did nothing at that time. It ended badly.

My recommend in this scenario: 1) After meeting, confront colleague and express feeling (shock surprise anger etc.) and describe impact on relationship (no trust, no share) and if possible restore some semblance of relationship. 2) At next group meeting, retake idea ownership by referencing idea presented and ADD several points that enhance the solutions that expand solutions. 3) Finally, if necessary based on office politics, relate incident to boss and action you took to deal with situation. (Running to boss first is simply seen as whining. OR, Worse sniping offender to others makes you a griper.)

Cordially, Ann

Great article!! Not to many people take the opportunity to look in the mirror. My question is, when you look in the mirror, how do you not get discouraged if you don’t like what you see. I’d also like to point out that the 5 questions listed are key to developing confidence in yourself, which is what every employer wants in who they hire.

I would add, don’t be afraid to get additional training if you find your reinvention requires it to enter a new industry
