[quote=Anonymous]I've been called out by a subordinate with my tone. He didn't like the way I seemed hostile and "sounded like I was telling [him] what to do." He noted that my hostility was not in my words or my volume but rather my tone. It boiled down to him not liking the fact that I used an imperative sentence on an already late deliverable ("Please send me the report."), and he'd prefer me to ask a question (" Did you have time to look at the report?" with the implication that he will send it to me). I prefer a more direct way or communicating. Based on past experiences, I don't think he would ask a male supervisor to change his"tone". Are we just a bad fit? What do you suggest?[/quote]
