Ever noticed how some people seem to rise to the top by claiming others' achievements as their own?
Machiavelli believed that sometimes you have to play dirty to stay in control. Taking credit for others' work? Totally a Machiavellian move.
The ancient strategist Sun Tzu said all warfare is based on deception. Grabbing credit can be seen as a sneaky strategy to get ahead.
Clausewitz thought war was just politics by other means. Stealing credit can be a decisive action to show dominance.
While taking credit for others' work might get you ahead quickly, it can damage your reputation and relationships in the long run. Stable power comes from integrity and lifting others up. The fastest route isn't always the best one.
