If it's not BS, there's nothing to smell.

Some people genuinely have increased revenue by 40% in a department, on their own. I know, because they were my direct reports, and I was more than happy to clear away roadblocks for them to continue doing the same thing at higher and higher levels.

The issue is that no one wants to say their part was only 0.02%, so they take credit for the job the team as a whole did.
