Getting credit at work is something that's utmost important to prove one's performance is beneficial to key stakeholders, thus advance the organization while getting a recognition from them.

Simply put as below:

"Credit = make your contribution counts."

In order to make sure the credit will be created from selected activities you aim to get it, making sure these points and considerations are addressed carefully and completely.

Credit sense:

1. Who is the judge?

Make a list of all of them, figure out their R&R on this specific task, their preference and interest (of conflict, if any). Your selection from who and their profile to make this judge picture, will determine how well you'll get it.

2. What are their criteria?

Apparently you won't get this info at ease, and very often you won't be able to even have any clue. So how? Well, your daily observation and continuous learning from those surroundings will help build this sense (hey, this is EMC, the Every Minute Counts). Moreover, it's also key on how you can confirm your findings is mutually understood.

3. Do you have to change their perspective (caution: for advanced only)?

Sometimes yes, and some no. This is most sensitive and critical. Make a lot case exercises before you try a real one.

4. How to deliver the output in a way to get those credits?

The format, the steps and also the choice of language to use for each target judge, shall be addressed, respectively.

Having said that, getting a serious and solid credit from others is not an easy task. People tend to avoid giving out a clear recognition to those who might impact them in any other way some day later. However, this is why getting a solid credit is so much precious and means a lot.

Those who are able to get credits continuously, are those who got a better chance to really advance his/ her future. Take credit scoring at work as a mirror to check your performance and potential. It does worth and help the effort. Do I have the credit for making this lesson?
