When you are young and new to the team, the normal urge is to say "That's exactly what I was saying in our previous meeting!" because you want and you know you deserve that recognition. And sometimes that comes across as irrelevant of unimportant or unfriendly. With age and growing responsibility you will rather rejoice at getting another sponsor for the idea, another ally of yours, who is now deeply committed to the idea, because they now invented it, too, and got appreciated (from you, a senior member) for it. | |

Maybe your coworkers were all highly competitive and worked well with this attitude, but that doesn't mean that it was a good/healthy attitude, trying to learn with everyone and recognizing their good deeds and ideas can make a huge difference when you need to point out an issue or have a harder discussion. | |
