Agreed.  That is what he was saying.  The point is (even though it cannot be proven here) that the interaction in question simply was not aggressive or "not-nice" in any way.  It was a very normal interaction - albeit an interaction of a more senior person needing decisive action from a more junior person.  That's the problem -- that this boss is so ready to accept that staff member's account of a normal interaction.  In addition, it is odd that a senior executive (the boss) would feel so comfortable sharing that I should be "nicer."  I am a senior exec woman.  WTH was he thinking in making such and incendiary remark?[/quote]

Meh.  Just from your posts, it's clear that you are very focused on hierarchy and making sure everyone knows from the get-go that you are an "executive."

Your boss is trying to give you some useful feedback on how to interact with others in the organization.   Keep up the drama you've already managed to create in a short time and your bosses will tell you that it's just not working out.  [/quote]
