My boss put me on a team with a really talented employee and we produced terrific results. I want to take sole credit for those results so I get promoted. How can I do that?
You could try lying and making up a fake story about how you single-handedly contributed to the team's success. Even if your boss is fooled at first, the lying will eventually come out and you'll likely be punished for it. A better strategy would be to give proper credit to your teammate and humbly accept any recognition or rewards you receive.
You can't! Taking credit for someone else's work isn't only wrong, it will reflect poorly on you. Don't try to game the system -- focus on producing results and making sure your boss is aware of the value you bring to the team. If you've done your job properly, a promotion should be a foregone conclusion.
