I had a project with a small group once. It was my idea and I did all the work. When we had to present it to the Board, the guy who was the up-and-comer jumped in to present it. I didn’t fight with him to stop him. As soon as questions were asked, I jumped in and answered them all. It was very obvious who had done all the work and knew what was going on.

. So, it looked like we were all on board with ‘teamwork’, which was very emphasized in this project, but it was obvious to all who was the force behind the whole thing without me having to fight for recognition. Our team won the challenge because it had hit a home run (at that moment, but then failed after, lol, due to the cooperating agencies lack of funds) and also because the ‘young gun’ on my team was very well-liked by the Board. So, see how you need others even though you did the work. Perhaps, I’d have still been overlooked because people tend to choose their friends anyway. This time it was a win!
