You can get a promotion if you present a coworker's idea as your own. No one will find out. Do you do it?
That would mean “reporting a colleague’s ideas as your own accomplishments in order to get promoted,” which is unethical—and the assumption that you can do it without anyone finding out is dangerous, so I won’t. Instead, I clearly credit my colleagues for their contributions and then focus on the results that are mine, such as driving the work, validating it, and implementing it.
Hunt your own fish; the taste of stolen prey is bitter and lonely.
Never steal a colleague's idea. Real success is the one that leaves your reputation intact.
Stay honest. Success loses its shine when it is built on something taken from someone else.
Never take what is not yours; a crown won through deceit is but a heavy chain.
Seize the merit if it secures an irreversible strategic advantage for the empire.
