None of us succeed
on our own.
We all have been helped
by others.
Whenever I’m interviewed,
I mention three or four
writers who have helped me.
A funny thing happens.
These writers share the interview
AND they tend to mention me
in future interviews.
Bruce L. Gewertz, MD
saw the same results.
“… I assumed a lower profile
and instead put forward colleagues
who had contributed to the project.
And a funny thing happened.
In their public comments,
nearly every faculty interviewee
gave me generous credit
for enabling their contributions
and for creating a supportive environment.
The praise was disproportionate
to anything I had done.”
Giving credit to others
isn’t merely a nice thing
to do.
It also usually results
in more credit
being given to you.
Share the love.
