Let others take the credit from "summary" of How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
Letting others take credit for your work can be beneficial in the long run. It will help build relationships with colleagues and make them feel valued. Even if you do not receive recognition, it is important to stay humble and generous.- When you help others succeed, it's very important to step back and let them take the credit. It's generosity will be remembered way better than taking the spotlight yourself.
- Being humble enough to acknowledge other’s success builds stronger relationships. It leads to more trust and admiration and can open up the door for even greater things down the road.
- Even if you contributed a large amount behind the scenes, there’s always something meaningful to gain from letting another person take the lead and bask in the limelight.
- Sharing the glory cheerfully amongst team members after a successful project is a great way to show true leadership capabilities.
- Put others first by allowing them to claim the accolades they have earned instead of stepping forward to accept praise on their behalf.
- Applaud the accomplishments of those around you without implying that any part might have been yours.
- A good leader understands when to hold back and pass the recognition onward, letting others receive their just due.
- Supporting the people close to you by assisting them in attaining their goals while keeping a bit of anonymity shows your true character.
- Allowing others their moments of joy gives an unspoken truth about your own sense of self-worth and maturity.
