We don’t start off asking this question…but when we get to the end of the project and the answer isn’t ‘me’, we have a problem with that.
So it’s worth considering if that question and answer was part of the driving force from the beginning, even without noticing it. Because no one is walking around thinking they’ve been given enough credit…we could all use a little more and maybe THIS time I’ll finally get mine.
Everyone is thinking a version of the same thing (I just want a little bit. I just want my fair share. I just don’t want that other person to get so much).
When the project has been completed and there’s a big stack of credit to be had, are you going to claim all that you can or give all that you can?
