    As a parent I feel I influence (manage) best by example....and I tend to
    take that style into the workplace.
    
    I don't ask anymore from the people that work for me than I expect
    from myself...
    
    I am beginning to think that I may need to refine my style a little
    bit and become more aggressive.  But I don't *like* an aggressive
    person!
    
    Is there a happy medium?

|     Don't think "agressive", think "assertive". 
    
    Negative vs. neutral connotations.

|     For those who may not have heard about it, there's a nifty
    course called "Positive Power and Influence" that explores
    four major influence styles in the workplace.  Among other
    things, the student gets the chance to try out unfamiliar
    styles in some really interesting r�le plays.  It's delivered
    by Leroy Malouf Associates (usually in N.H.), a long-time
    DEC favorite.  Your local HR/Training group should be able to
    supply info, but if not, gimme a holler.
