Staffed on a 2-month project with another A -we are both running for mid-year promotion and the pre-requirement is demonstrating leadership. He is the friend of project director and often sidebars him making it look like that he is running the project. I led the team to finalize the one doc, but right before I send it, he messaged the D letting him know I’m sending it - this does not make me look that I’m leading/not good for promotion, and it is unfair. How should I handle it?

Openly take credit for the work you did. Most consultants know the games and are smart enough to see right through sophomoric power plays.

Thank you, D1. Very helpful insight. Great to know it’s okay to not be good at power play - the reason I chose Consulting vs. exit is because I enjoy solving the problems and learning more than politics
