#95 How Credit Gets Misassigned on High Performing Teams
When Mozart wrote variations on an old French melody, he named the original song in the title rather than himself, and the world credited him anyway. In this episode of the Leader Fuel Podcast, Dr. Linda Travelute uses that story, and the stranger one behind Happy Birthday to You, to explain how credit actually gets assigned on a team and why correcting it later almost never works. This episode will change how you handle recognition on your team: the person who keeps ending up with credit that isn't theirs is usually not the cause of the problem. But we’ll show you what is, where credit actually gets decided, why the window is far shorter than most leaders assume, and five specific things you can do about it inside a normal work week to make sure credit is given to the right people.
