WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF A COLLEAGUE STEALS YOUR CREATIVE IDEA?

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Idea theft at work is common and undermines respect and professional credibility. The recommended approach is to document your contributions, address the colleague privately and respectfully, reclaim ownership during meetings if needed, escalate to management with evidence if the behaviour persists, and strategically protect your ideas, while knowing when to prioritize your wellbeing in toxic environments.
