Are you concerned about an idea thief at work? A co-worker who steals your ideas can be one of the most frustrating individuals to deal with. However, find out how you can put your best ideas forward without fear of the idea thief:
If you have a great idea and you are concerned about it being stolen, put it in writing and present it in front of others, preferably with management or key decision makers present.
Also, put the situation into perspective by remembering that imitation is the highest form of flattery, so keep up the good work. Don't let the fear of someone stealing your idea keep you from putting your best ideas forward, simply be strategic in how you do so.
