Well, do you think it's right?
After boot camp, it's fairly rare when I yell at someone. Normally, I have great people working for me, and yelling really wouldn't accomplish anything.
Good to see that someone else agrees. From http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2013/02/excoriated.html
Excoriated
There are only three reasons to really chew someone out for
something they did, only three reasons to have an emotional tantrum, to
use cutting language and generally make them feel lousy:
1. You want them to never do it again.
2. You want them to stop doing it right now.
3. You feel upset about the change and taking it out on the person who took action makes you feel better. First clue, "he deserved it!"
Can we agree that the third reason is selfish and there are almost certainly better responses if your goal is one or two?
