This would be described as “how to communicate and lead more effectively” and yep, such courses are occasionally available. If you find yourself advocating this, that tells me that either: A. You’ve observed someone else needs these skills —- in which case you probably would be more effective by being direct and using NVC to talk to the other person or their manager. B. You’ve noticed yourself lacking these skills —- in which case I encourage you to do yourself the awkward kindness of admitting your shortcomings to yourself and asking your boss if you’d get reimbursed for such a personal development course. C. You’ve observed general culture problems at your company…which I have no good advice on how to handle as an IC. You can either change your team or change teams. D. You enjoy talking about this sort of thing, in which case I encourage you to dive into it because it is fascinating. Google “clean language questions”.
