The Credit Stealer

This boss loves taking credit for her (his) staff's work as her (his) own. When the going she (he) finds one of her (his) staff to blame even if it is her (his) fault.

The Credit Stealer is a master at deceiving her (his) superiors into thinking that she (he) is brilliant. She (he) manipulates every good outcome to make it look like she (he) initiated it. She (he) never gives credit. This boss is dangerous since you can get fired if she (he) thinks it will save her (his) job.
