Steal one idea at work and every idea you have after that gets a quiet asterisk.

Credit is one of the few things at work that compounds, and so is doubt. Lifting an idea once can look like a win, but the people who watched it happen now carry a small question into everything you present afterwards. Nobody will ever say the question out loud to you. That silence is the expensive part.

Name your sources out loud, especially the small ones: whose suggestion in the break room, whose template, whose fix for the thing that kept jamming. It costs you nothing and makes your own contributions easier to believe. Do it once in front of other people and watch what starts coming your way.
