[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. I disagree with PPs. I do believe this is a sexism issue. Men don't frame things as questions if they are making actual statements. It's ridiculous that women are expected to play these games. If you are a manager, yes, it's important to seek input. But you can be direct *and* be inclusive and seek input. In fact, I prefer managers that do that over managers who play the passive-aggressive question thing that leaves me wondering, um, so are they really asking me (as in I have a choice or a say) or are they subtly telling me to do X,Y,Z? That management style is confusing. Unless you are genuinely asking a question, don't frame it as a question. But do seek input. Ask people what their thoughts are or if they have any ideas. [/quote] This. You shouldn't have to play word games to protect the fragile egos of your subordinates. [/quote]
