Get on with the challenge at hand. Procrastination will not make a task disappear. M.D. Treat Your Colleagues with Respect and Dignity. An extension of the self confidence you have in yourself is the respect and dignity you extend to others. Your colleagues have toiled to gain expertise not unlike the effort you have put forth.
Respect is a reciprocal process.
You gain respect only if you give respect. Your colleagues will be more willing to work with you, and be more wiling to trust you, if you give them the respect and dignity they deserve. The data that should drive your decisions is your institutions data. Referring to benchmark numbers from other institutions should be just a frame of reference. Learn your market.
