[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I use the phrase "Please [do X] at your earliest convenience" when I am requesting deliverables and trying to be passive-aggressive because nobody has met their deadline.[/quote] What a bitch! I use it when they have done time. If they are overdue, then I ask for an updated timeline of when I should expect it. [b]Passive agressiveness causes confusion and makes you look like a short-sighted bitch.[/b][/quote] And cowardly. It's poor leadership. Grow a pair and have a discussion. [/quote] Discussions have been had. This is a monthly deliverable due on the 1st of the month, which has never changed. I have set up calendar reminders for everyone in addition to the discussions we have been required to have. So, now I say "at your earliest convenience."[/quote] Nobody is saying they aren't wrong to be late. But you are handling it wrong. Say what you mean because you look like an ineffective idiot when you don't. Tell them. I needed it by yesterday, by when will I get it? Generally, you should never, ever try to be passive aggressive. There are zero benefits and your wimpiness in employing the tactic makes you a terrible leader.[/quote] PP again, have already tried the alternatives. This has been going on for over 10 months, every month. I'm not in a leadership role, actually, which is why I think no one takes the deadline seriously.[/quote] And you never will be if you think that passive aggressiveness is a useful tool. [/quote]
