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 can produce additional results on your own, to demonstrate the contribution you made above and beyond what was accomplished by the team. Focus on taking individual initiatives, staying late to finish tasks that may not have been completed yet, or take up tasks from other members of the team if they are unable to finish them. Additionally you can take initiative in speaking engagements and project presentations that showcase your ideas, allowing people to hear your point of view and take note of what you have done differently. Finally, emphasize how these accomplishments tie into long-term strategies for company growth. This could be enough justification for a promotion solely based on your efforts.

Take an active role in leading and coordinating the team's tasks, providing guidance on what needs to be done and direction on how to do it. Make sure that you get individual recognition for your contribution by keeping track of conversations, being visible in team meetings and highlighting your contribution whenever possible. As well as self-promote by pointing out the successes that you personally have achieved during reviews or performance assessments.
