> Sure, effective communication could also come across rude in certain situations, but for most people being rude is not an active choice they make but something they feel entitled to. On top of that, the critique that I have with the article is that we should combine both, but I can relate that most of the rude people are classified as Mechanistic, using the parameters of the article. That's why I disagree with the premise that you should combine, in my experience the amount of Humanistic people should be at least 8:1 for each Mechanistic, with strict and top-down principles and policies that dictate what is acceptable or not. What I see in most of the working places is that, when you have a single default-rude person (mislabed as Mechanistic) the blast radius of people being shut down is way greater, and on the long run tanks everyone productivity.
