Understand, when your Cisco Boss asks you to put together and send him 1 slide describing some idea you have...his intention is to present it as his own idea to his leadership.
He gets a promotion for being "innovative" and you get moved to the basement and given a nice red Stapler
Stay frosty out there
A bit harsh - the job of a good manager is to sell his team to the higher ups (and protect them from the sh-t that comes down).
Wow the exact same thing happened to me . We love your work load it in sharepoint so I can copy it .
Or his intention is to make you describe it so others understand it / force you to think thru the viability etc.
Add a light watermark with your name on it. Also add the team’s name. Copy paste it several times throughout the slide with some variations so it’s not easy to replace.
