to allow people to believe that you did something that deserves praise or special attention
to take credit for
in a powerful position
high up
to be in a position where someone is pleased with you and nice to you
to be in someone's good books
to say nothing
to keep your mouth shut
to be excluded
to be out
to be made public
to come to light
