What would you do if your Boss keeps exercising the 7th Law of Power on you?

oh, in case you don't know that it is, it states that "Get others to do the work and take the credit for it?

So, friends...how would you answer this?

For how long am I supposed to get stuck in the 1st Law of Power?- "Never outshine the Master".

Hmmm... No idea.


Maybe Ademasta would have something to say

Hmm

I have no idea what you talking about; cos I'm my own boss

This is a tactical question

Great question but I dont think its an efficient interview question.
Probably a question for graduate trainees.

Question simply means: "Do you have a problem with your boss taking the credit for a job you did?".

But the thing is a manager has to take the credit... This doesnt mean others dont know you are doing a great job.

For a manager to successfully manage a team is tasking in itself.

just be an entrepreneur. be your own Boss.

I think the '7th Law of power' is just a law. And a law doesn't apply to everyone. So I'll let it flow for as long as I need to go all out on my own.

I don't believe in all these how would you answer bla bla bla question in a job interview sesson. Who will get the job would still get the job! Infact, you can answer this particular question in a wrong manner and still get the job so long you can defend your reasons!

Keep a portfolio of the jobs you've "contributed" to and collect recommendations from colleagues and supervisors who worked on the same project.

Behave as if it's nothing until when you are on leave, the truth comes up

i would let him continue while closely studying his techniques and the manner in which he does it ... Never outshine the master but better still be his shadow and learn

Anybody with the answer yet?

So true!!

Anyway my answer will be: I really don't see this as a big deal as i believe sooner or later, my hardwork will speak for itself. However i wouldn't expect bosses to always take full credit as this may lead to demotivation of the employees and may therefore bring down their performance over time.
