TRP has helped me tremendously with my career. I am in a very confident state of mind at the moment: I understand my mission, I know what I have to do, and I am certain I have the tools to do it.

In my current work situation there is promise and potential for major growth, so I have been putting the pedal to metal. I am trying to take on as many projects as I can handle, and am trying to be as friendly and likable to as many people as possible.

However...I was told today that I may need to soften my delivery or tone with people. My supervisor (who is an awesome dude, masculine guy's guy, not some feminized puss) said that he personally has no problem with my style, but that others may be perceiving it differently. FYI - I work with a lot of women, gay men, and straight men who I consider "soft."

So this has been consuming me all day. I want to be the aggressive, masculine, decisive male that TRP has taught me to be (and that I naturally am). But do I have to basically filter myself to be more palatable to the softer masses?

Has anyone here ever experienced being labeled too aggressive in the workplace? Can TRP attitudes or approaches that are successful in everyday life be NOT appropriate for the workplace?

I don't want to be considered the overly intense aggressive guy...but I don't want to have to pussy foot around every special snowflake's feelings. I wasted too many years of my personal life doing that with people.
