I tend to be the same way in the work setting as an ENTJ. However, having little/no concern about touchy/feelie supervisor/supervisee relations tends to result in lots of personnel issues from what I’ve seen and some feedback* from friends who have worked with me.
Been making it a point to account for the touchy/feelie aspects even though it comes exceedingly hard for me personally as if taken into account, supervisees would be inspired to work much more effectively without necessitating more coercive/negative motivational techniques to ensure accountability so objectives are met and tasks which need to be done are done correctly, on time, and at/under budget.
- Most friends have said they'd be glad to have me as a supervisor of a department working for them as they know I'll make sure the staff I supervise work together to meet the main objectives/get stuff done correctly and on time. However, they'd also said they'd hate working under me, especially if they tended to be on the laid-back lackadaisical side as the latter tend to regard me as a bit of a taskmaster. However, I don't agree with and won't do what one senior biglaw partner did to a paralegal working on the same team did:....summarily fire him because he was seen reading and thus "slacking too much" in the eyes of the law partner without considering the fact that:
- He was taking his lunch hour and was well within his rights to use it to read his book.
- Even though our team had much to do, the rest of us were covering for him for that hour so when another one of us takes a lunch break, we'd do the same for him.
Unfortunately, as that senior law partner was one of the most powerful equity partners in that biglaw firm, his firing of my colleague stood despite the unjust aspect of it.
