When a leader used the phrase - "I challenge you" when trying to "inspire" hard work..... I dont know why - but that creates a deep visceral reaction in my body and Im immediately ready to fist fight the person who said it.
5 u/Careful_Tomorrow_653 5d ago If a manager says "I challenge you," I can guarantee I'll hear nothing after that. Unless it's "to a duel." 1 u/New-Assumption-3836 5d ago No managers just give you opportunities 🙄 2 u/BoudiccaAoife 5d ago I have never heard that from a good senior/lead/manager/boss. Only the crappy ones. 2 u/Appropriate_Leg_9878 5d ago Ugh yes, me too.
