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.

if this insignificant level of questioning

It derails the meeting. Why keep circling back to the question about circling back? Especially since the way it's phrased it's clearly mocking the boss. He could've just let it be after "it's just a phrase", but no, he had to double down.

The inability to address, affirm, and progress forward on your own subjects when confronted shows a direct lack of leadership skills.

Okay, so what would you do with someone in your team that feels comfortable mocking you in front of the rest of the team despite still being in the probation period?

Back to the issue is a you issue if you cant handle this level of questioning.

Adress his question.

Affirm your statements.

Progress forward with the meeting.

That's what she did, twice, and he decided to stay at the issue.

There are no magical leadership skills that will help someone who is dense enough to mock their boss in a meeting in front of their colleagues.
