Taking credit for someone else's ideas

What would you do if you spoke to someone you work with about ideas you have to make things better for all of the employees and then find out that person took credit for those ideas? Would you wait until you were together with everyone and then say something, go to the person personally or just let them bask in their false glory?
What if the person you talked to was one of your supervisors? Shouldn't they be held to the same standards as the "little man" or perhaps even higher standards given the fact that they are in charge?

If you had proof that it was your idea perhaps another coworker over heard you talking about the idea and better still if you had it in writing somewhere then I would go to the supervisor and if it was the supervisor who stole your idea then I would go to his/her boss. However if you didn't have proof then I would take the person aside and have it out with them. If you did it front of other employees without proof they would just think you were jealous.

i think it would be correct to confront the person in private. but then i am not really bothereed about the credit. it has happened with me. sometimes u do feel really bad and feel vindictive but then i have seen that such people carry an image that no one trusts. ohers often know who is like what...
