I do not hope that any of your attitude affects your new colleagues
Actually, I have changed my mind again (I can be so fickle at times, just ask Gonzo). Best of luck in you endeavours in achieveing the consultant position you seek.
I would also strongly suggest and encourage you to maintain your ability to make decisions without the slightest bit of factual evidence and purely base it on hearsay.........it will earn you the respect you deserve.
