One major skill in being successful at your profession is to take credit where it's not due. You may argue that that is unprofessional, but I would argue that it works.
Look around you. How many politicians have claimed to have almost eradicated poverty, sickness, and bad governance? And will continue to do so, with wonderful results at the polls.
How many CEOs past and present, claim that their company is on its way to being no. 1 in market share, profitability, and return to shareholders, and then watch it go up in smoke?
The King of Good Times can also fall on bad times, but while he was here, there was an aura of invincibility around him. He was actually quite successful in launching the airline with the best customer service.. and an IPL team which eventually won a tournament!
Take credit whenever you can.. for launches, inventions, territory conquered, the Christmas Cake,..anything at all. Even if you are not in politics.. this can do wonders for your career, much more than hard work ever will.. because some other guy will take credit for that.
