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?

Your goal is not to take sole credit; your goal should be to get recognition for your achievements. You should make sure your supervisors know the value of the work you and your colleague produced and make sure to highlight the contributions of each team member. Keep good records and document each project's progress with evidence and testimonials from satisfied customers, stakeholders, and team members. Additionally, ask your supervisor how else you can go about showing your value, such as writing up a progress report or giving a presentation on the team's success. Taking responsibility, leading the team, and producing the results are steps to take in achieving that recognition.

Make sure your boss knows of your team's success and emphasize how you were instrumental in the outcomes. Frame your contributions in terms of ideas that the entire team implemented, or in ways that made sure everyone on the team was successful. Take ownership of your role without diminishing your colleagues', and focus on the value that you and the team created together.
