Of course, the letter written first must not have any bad influence, and the content of the short message must not make the other party unhappy. The main purpose of writing a letter is to gently remind the other party how the idea he inadvertently put forward at the beginning evolved into this delightful appearance today. In the appropriate place in the letter, you can write the relevant date and title, and you can quote any existing written evidence.

It is very important to suggest a face-to-face discussion at the end of the message, which will give you a chance to implicitly reinforce your true meaning again: you came up with the idea.

If someone really forgets your credit. If you want to take the credit for yourself, then this method can help you get it back.

(2) Praise the person who digs your credit, and then reiterate that the credit is yours.

When I say this, I want to praise my colleagues' unique talents and opinions once again. This method is especially needed by professional women. Many researchers have found that female employees like to do things from the perspective of "we" rather than "me", so their ideas and actions are often misappropriated by male colleagues. If you pay attention to the positive side of things-your colleague also tries his best to do a good job, and he or she has a unique view on what to do-this may help you solve this potential problem.

When you think this method is more suitable for your application, you should act as early as possible. It will be much more difficult if you wait for your colleagues to spread your ideas.

At first glance, it seems that this is not a method, or not a good method. But for some people, this may be the best result. You should ask yourself: which is more important, putting this idea into practice or having a reputation for putting forward this idea alone?

When making a decision, you should consider how much energy you need to fight this "lawsuit". In some cases, such as you are about to accept an important promotion, it takes a lot of time and energy; Or there are no obstacles except "principles", proving ownership will only make you tired ... and maybe it will make your superiors angry and make them wonder why you can't do something more meaningful with your time. In this case, it is obviously wise and the best policy to quit fighting.
