Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• When something goes well I tend to quietly absorb the credit or just say "great team effort," and I never actually name who did what
• When the team debriefs and credit gets handed around, I instantly downplay my part
• When someone does something genuinely great I just toss off a "nice work" and move on, and it barely registers
• When something goes wrong my first move is to find who dropped the ball, and when it goes well I quietly feel it was mostly me
• I keep my small wins to myself because it feels like bragging, so they quietly evaporate
