[quote=Anonymous]Either have the direct reports formally document their 360 feedback, or have them directly talk to someone else (your supervisor or HR). But I agree there is probably some implicit/unconscious bias causing the direct reports to be much less tolerant of directness from black woman than they would from a white man, and similarly you (or me) to be much less tolerant of pushback from a black woman than a white man. The way I have tried to deal with this (as an Asian women) is to be assertive but couch things in soft and “I think…” type language. You could call it assimilation/working within the system/propagating a bad system. But fwiw, I try to speak as softly at home and when I succeed it leads to more pleasant interactions with my family.[/quote]
