I think what's supposed to happen is that the director gets praised and then it's his job to praise whoever on his team actually did it. Just like how the director get scolded when things go wrong and then he decides if he needs to fire someone.
Reminds me of the time I missed work because my alternator died and it was a $200 repair. That same say some department head I'd never met was awarded $200 for the intranet site I'd built.
I'm so glad my boss never takes credit for things that we do. I don't work in an office, but in a pharmacy. Unfortunately retail pharmacy is still retail. My boss straight up says "I don't know, I had nothing to do with it, talk to ______"when being praised for accomplishments.

Of course real life doesn't always work that way.
She bust her knuckles meeting deadlines; and the credit always goes to some old, white, fossil of a man who managed to fail upwards.
