      "text": "the show and it's all about you anyway, so you lose nothing by sharing credit. It sounds counter-intuitive. Most showrunners feel embattled in a job that is manifestly greater than any one person's ability to perform, and feel that - because of their daily marshaling of the resources necessary to commit to that level of intensity - they deserve to be recognized as the sole author of the production. In truth, that recognition is already there. I'm not just talking about the First Law: the validation of your primacy comes weekly in the form of the largest check on the payroll, the biggest office in the suite, the parking spot closest to the front door, and the Executive Producer credit in the main titles of every episode of the show... along with your production company card after the end titles. Everyone knows who and what you are. Everyone is hanging on your words. The wonderful thing about credit is that it's not a finite resource. The more credit you give, the more credit you get - for being a genius and hiring a great staff, for being a good boss and a nice person (finally!) who can acknowledge the contributions of others, for fostering a positive work environment, and - most crucially - for being the kind of showrunner who protects their writers from the kinds of short term judgments that you have the liberty rethink in the long term. By that I mean this: because of your feelings of embattlement, you will often be tempted to tell the studio or network about which writers are not performing to your expectations in order to explain a temporary stop in the script pipeline, or a missed deadline, or to assuage your own temporary feelings of annoyance. There are few things a showrunner can do that are less becoming of their station than to throw a staff member under the bus. The first reason is that the road is long and you may find yourself discovering - as this writer does further work for you - that you actually quite like their writing. You have the liberty to change your mind, but a single bad remark (like a yawn from the emperor in Amadeus) can paint a writer's career at network or studio for far longer than you imagine. The second reason is that - when you impugn your own staff - it makes your own stewardship",
