Overview
If there's one underrated superpower at work, it's giving credit - generously, and often. When your teammate goes out of their way to help, contributes meaningfully, or quietly ships something excellent, take a moment to recognize it, publicly. If you want people to show up for you - show up for them first.
Key Points
- mention someone in a demo who helped unblock you
- add a thank-you line in retros or Slack updates
- tag a teammate in a PR comment for their idea that helped
Takeaway
Give credit often - it costs nothing but builds everything.
