These kind of over-generalist advice are pretty meaningless (especially the title, content being more specific).
You do not always want to be perceived (because that's what you're going for) as kind, it is situation specific.
You do not want to be kind during negotiation, because that means you're usually missing out on a better deal.
You do not want to be kind when dealing with bad behaviour. I've too often seen missing stairs running loose for far too long due to "kindness" from HR, whether it was sincere or rather an expression of cowardliness .
What do you want to aim at all time is respectful behaviour, because that is what could undermine your current position in the conversation. People do not listen to jerks.
- trxvaf 2y agoA stair is an inanimate object that other people step upon in order to move upwards. Perhaps the human beings in question refused to participate in that game and therefore went "missing"? People using the term "missing stair" are very often sanctimonious, obsessed with power, and just do enough of faking kindness to fly under the radar. And they treat others like inanimate objects.

And they treat others like inanimate objects. That's a lot of assumption to make from the use of one illustrated idiom, that were by no means intended from my side.
