Share the credit and people will line up to work with you. Hog it and you’ll work alone.

Credit behaves strangely. Giving it away tends to increase how much comes back to you, and grabbing at it tends to shrink the supply, because people remember whether their name got said when it mattered. Over a few years that memory decides who wants you on their next thing.

The next time something you were part of gets praised, name somebody else out loud before you say anything about yourself. Be specific about what they did. It costs nothing and it gets remembered for a long time.
