How do I gain respect from two total egomaniacs?



Right now, in order to advance myself in my line of work I need to gain the respect of two of my co-workers.
I want to gain a position as the morning sous chef (I work with the night sous chef right now) and I need to gain the respect of the morning supervisor and the breakfast supervisor (we have two kitchens).

Here's the tricky part, both of these people see themselves as in charge even though we have an Exec. Chef over both of them. They also look down upon me with great distrust being I am the only white person in the kitchen and the youngest person in the entire hotel I work for. The chef told me the position is for the most part mine, as long as I can gain their respect.

Any ideas? These are two very self-centered people.... HELP!

You gain respect by working hard and working well. Never be late. Never whine. Never let someone else appear to be working harder than you.

If that doesn't work, give 'em the goat. (Hope you've seen "Waiting").
stay calm!!
You don't.

If you want to be a mornign sous chef then find another restarurant.
Talk to them and give them respect. Ask them their opinions on things, let them know you value their opinions.
Have them over for a few beers and a bbq.
