I had a similar reaction. I also believe the statement, “…compensate for the problems I think we will see” may come across as passive aggressive and met with the following response: “We are going to skip diagnosis because I said so. If that presents a problem, that is your fault—not mine. If you can’t follow my simple instructions and get the job done without making excuses, you may not have a job on this team. Am I clear?”

BUT . . . (but = a crucial conversation wall! :-)) , , I don’t think I would have said . . . “at the end of the conversation, I will do what you ORDER me to do.” Depends how you say it ‘however’, I would have said . . . “what you Tell me to do”. Order can sound a bit sarcastic. Thanks . . . and hey, I do read these things. Big Crucial Conversation fan for many years. Keep up the great work. Chuck V.
