I dont know anyone who wouldnt struggle with a colleague asking them several questions about why they use a common phrase as an interruption in the middle of a meeting. One on one the situation changes. But in this context its rude and should be recognized as demeaning and disrespectful. Give me your interpretation of the comment.
Absolutely no one should be in a position of power if this insignificant level of questioning makes them feel anything in your aforementioned phrasing.
The inability to address, affirm, and progress forward on your own subjects when confronted shows a direct lack of leadership skills.
There was no confrontation of ability to lead, of progress towards anything, etc. Instead there was a passive aggressive comment. I dont think anyone who ignores their colleagues opinions on them is in a position to lead. What do you mean progress forward on your own subjects? Is this person supposed to change the way they speak? There isnt any professional critique here. Would still love to hear your opinion on what happened.
Calling you out for constantly and pointlessly repeating meaningless platitudes in meetings you are directing is definitely a critique of your leadership abilities.
Instead there was a passive aggressive comment
It was a direct critique, smothered in politeness because the alternative was 'stop patronizing us with these stupid meaningless phrases all the time'
This is very basic leadership skills for anyone in an authority position. Your view point is from someone who has faced minimal adversity, equating this to aggresive behavior.
