My Boss Stole My Idea… Now What?

Send us Fan Mail THE NOT SO BREAKFAST SHOW Episode Show Notes: Who Gets the Credit? Sacha is fresh off a near miss with an Easter chocolate bunny, after realising she’d already eaten lunch (sushi, no less), she heroically returned the bunny and opted for an apple instead. Discipline levels: questionable… but improving. Meanwhile, this episode was sparked by a real-world frustration pulled straight from Reddit, someone claiming their boss took credit for their idea. And let’s be honest… we’ve all either experienced that or wondered if we have. When it comes to leadership, who gets the credit and when matters more than we think. Should leaders say: 👉 “I did that” or 👉 “My team did that”? And what happens when it feels like your idea has been taken, repackaged, and presented without you? This episode dives into the messy, nuanced reality of ownership, recognition, and leadership responsibility. If you haven’t come across it yet, Working Genius is one of the simplest, most practical models I’ve seen for helping teams understand how they actually get work done. Not personality. Not fluff. Just clarity on where people thrive — and where they get frustrated. If you’re planning your next team day, offsite, or work event, I’d love to bring this to your crew.
