Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

What kind of personality is always aware of this kind of perceptive interaction, and what are their core thought functions?

it’s a simple as not taking a submissive or apologetic tone. Realizing you are a peer with the other party.

Also cutting out filler words and disfluencies common in casual conversation.

Thanks. I'm terrible about thinking this way. I always follow my curiosity and really only care about an abstract understanding any people that like to explore. When I'm the boss, no one works for me; they work with me and take on responsibility or I do it myself and get rid of them. I can do it all; not the best or the fastest, but I can do about anything if I really try. To me, social dynamics seem childish, but I also suck at things like emotional reinforcement and coercive sales. Most places I've worked, I wind up operating outside of any management structure, set my own hours, etc.

One of the big steps to becoming a boss who enables others is understanding that you can’t do it all yourself, and that your job is to help other people do more than you could yourself alone. I am learning that as I transition from being “the buck stops here guy“ to a manager

Not saying "sorry", and instead saying "thank you for your patience", will make me internally think "no, I wasn't feeling patient at all", and I'll think you're a condescending asshole and undermine you at every turn.

People need to learn how to apologize gracefully and keep moving.

how about “I appreciate you waiting”

It works as an implied apology, but you can also just say you're sorry and move on.

In my experience, both American colleagues, and older colleagues, tend to have a weird guilt complex that often prevents them from just saying sorry and moving on and not having it be a big deal. I think the god fearing, bible thumping, everything you do is a sin, kind of upbringing has knock on effects that lead to toxic behaviour like not being able to admit fault easily.

Imho, it shows far more confidence to be able to confidently admit fault and not be broken to pieces over it, you know that everyone makes mistakes and that you can fix yours better than most.

Someone interested in controlling others... a boss.
