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

• When the team debriefs and credit gets handed around, I instantly downplay my part
• When I replay this in my own head I always land on the same tidy story, and some part of me suspects I’m protecting myself
• 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
• 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
• A handed-off task wraps up and we just move on to the next thing

Practices that may help
