I happened to see a scene from the movie #DinnerforSchmucks, starring #PaulRudd, actor well-known for the Marvel Studios movie #Antman. In that movie scene, in a board meeting, he seemed like a nobody. His colleagues have zero importance for him, won't take him seriously, not even his boss is interested in what he has to say about growing the business in an innovative way. Something happens, and he gives an idea that everyone else mocks at him. They say "everybody wins" is a new term for them and laughs at him. His boss wanted another employee to take up the lead to implement what Paul said (somewhere he knew that this is a brilliant idea, but did not want to agree to Paul, and did not want Paul to do any follow-up on the same), when Paul replied "I SHOULD BE THE ONE TO TAKE THE LEAD" and the whole team laughs.
Ring any Bell???!!! 🔔 Something similar has happened to the legendary actor Sylvester Stallone - the path he walked to become the lead actor for the first time in his famour movie series #RockyBalboa is both legendary, emotional and epic.
Moral of the story: Never share your unique idea, which you truly think is going to work, with anybody else, not even with your boss, your colleague or your stakeholders cos they only need your ideas and not you. So, take that idea and give the best shot you got cos it's all on you - success or failure, it is yours and not a bunch of useless non-creative people who only knows how to steal from you. Do it on your own, make it happen. It might take a longer time than expected, will face failures after failures. But once you start doing it, people will start believing in you and your ideas.

2moI wouldn't expect anything less from the woman who opened every episode of The Electric Company by yelling, "hey you guys!"
