Our, not My

I came up with an idea yesterday at work. We were told by the lead partner that instead of just writing that certain people at the client were competent for the role we documented and rely on, we now have to write an in depth bio on each person. The lead senior joked that in addition to basic credentials and experience, we would also need to write about how many pets each person has, what their preferences are, and what their credit card and social security numbers are.

Most people at the client are easy to fill out for. Just takes about 10 minutes of interviewing the client and 10 minutes to write up per person. But we have probably close to 50 people to interview. Divide and conquer and it’s not so bad right? There are 6-8 staff/seniors on the job. Let's ignore the fact that 17 hours of unexpected work (not including review hours) at an average of around $300/hour (lower rates cause we're not in busy season) wasn't budgeted for and therefore eats at our revenues. 

But then, this company is a Fortune 1000 enormous company and only certain levels of our audit team can talk to the higher big wig executives. I’m clearly not going into the CEO’s office to ask him a technical question, so you can forget about me asking him if he has any active certifications or how long he’s been in the manufacturing business. We won't have the partner or senior manager ask because that costs way more than $300 an hour.

We're not stuck in a rut yet. After all, certain people I can Google stalk. Fortune 1000 CEO is easy to find info on. It’s also easy when the treasurer writes his life story on LinkedIn for everyone to see. Not so easy when the Assistant General Counsel lady writes nothing but her company name on her LinkedIn. I’m not going up to her and asking.

All this to say, after unsuccessfully google stalking her, I said out of frustration “Can’t we just make the client do this for us?” in a work IM to the player senior. He responded with “That’s actually a really good idea.”

So I pitched the idea to our senior manager and got approval. The email I wrote attributed the idea to both me and the player senior.

The player senior came to me today for help running a report then casually mentioned as he walked away that the idea was all mine and I didn’t need to give credit to him in my email to the senior manager and partner.

I read in Lean In the other day that women in the workforce are more often perceived in a negative light by both men and women alike than not. And one way to help remedy that is to attribute success to group success rather than individual success. I kind of did it instinctly because player senior was the one that enabled my idea, which pushed me to ask for approval from the senior manager and partner. But I can see Sheryl’s point, so I guess I did it without second thought.

Part of me thinks “Oh he didn’t even think he should be credited with part of this successful idea. Maybe I should’ve taken the credit for myself - he wouldn’t have minded.” But the other part of me knows that these kinds of things improve coworkers and supervisors’ impressions and perceptions of me at little cost.
