Yeah, this is a really good point. 3s and 8s especially tend to be pretty ego-forward and 6s tend to find that threatening, because it feels like infringement upon natural rights. I think the 6 mentality is more like you earn your title and respect by what you do.
hmm, that makes a lot of sense. I personally have no problem when a boss tells me they are the boss. How else are you supposed to know who to go to for orders? There's no way around it. However, if I'm being insubordinate and a boss asserts their rank, its suddenly revealed to me that they feel powerless over me, as the only time someone would ever say that is out of last resort, because they obviously lack the fundamental respect required for leadership to be effective.
In the military, rank is posted on your collar, so there's no real need to say "I'm in charge," as its there for all to see, shining brightly under the lights. I notice a lot of 6's used to just have this bad attitude of "look at you mr officer with your shiny stuff, you think you're hot shit?" and ultimately nothing was said to deserve that treatment.
One of the most aggravating aspects of leadership is dealing with e6 skepticism. Most of the time it just infuriates me to where I have to raise my voice. Its been this way for YEARS! I feel like there are a lot of people who just try to get a rise out of me and don't respect me until I shout at them *ahem... entj's.*
