Hack Your Bureaucracy

Credit is not a finite resource like matter, energy, or money. If you give credit to others, you and your team can still get credit for the success of a project, too. In fact, the more you give credit and thank others for their contributions, both publicly and privately, the more they are likely to reciprocate. The net result is that all of you will be able to brag about the same project, and more people in your organization will hear about the project’s success.
