回複：How should I deal with this issue

My suggestion:

(1)Cool down, make sure you stay calm and continue your good work.
(2)Do a self-checking and try to find out the the unknown unkonwns. People draw their perceptions about us through our own behaviors. Many times, our own behaviors fail to project our true inner value and capabilities. This distortion is what we call the blind spots. We cannot see out own blind spots ourselves. We need mirrors and the mirrors can be your mentors, formal co-workers or others you trust.
(3)Confirm the true intention of your boss. As someone suggested in this thread that you boss’s motivation can be either a desire to grow his team or out of his own personal insecurity. In either way, you want to tell you boss that you are there to support his goals. If you do not yet believe that now, you should practice by saying it load and repeat till you begin to believe. Then you say those words to your boss. The way to do it is though formal one-on-one meetings. You should request the one-on-ones so that the meeting will happen at your chosen schedule and on your agenda.
(4)Stay low keys but find opportunities to raise your visibility. While you always put your boss’s name as the author or owner of the documents or presentations, you can cleverly put your name as the second author, first drafter or updates contributors.
(5)A small tricks: manage your boss by feeding him 80% of information and then update his boss or his peers with the other 20% key details. You can use hallways, elevators, water coolers, concession stores or any other occasions. Over time, you may raise you own visibility by replying emails where some important stake holders are on the cc list. Just make sure you do not become over aggressive with this technique. On those infrequent cases you do so, you make sure you stress that you were on behalf of your own boss. If your boss takes vacation, you will have a golden opportunity. But some insecure bosses never take vacations. lol.
(6)Some one on this forum suggest you start looking for other jobs. Over time, we all change jobs, but a successful professional changes job to advance his own career and will always do so on his own plan. We should avoid the impulse of changing jobs because how others treat us. There are 2 catches: (i) If you do not find out and fix your own problems and carry those with you to your new job, you will suffer the same failure; (ii) if you do not develop your ability to overcome difficulties, you will never grow into a mature career professional. There are no perfect bosses in the world.
(7)I recently came across a good book called “Influencing Up” by Allan R. Cohen and David L. Bradford. You may read it. (I am not related to the authors.) We all must first learn to be good team players. In a cooperation, no matter what levels you get, you will always have a boss. I have seen managers without managerial or leadership skills but never a boss without the trust and support of his boss.
