Date: 2016-09-02 12:35 pm (UTC)I don't feel the difference between "You need to" and "I need you to" is about criticising essence vs criticising behaviour. To me, "You need to" is either a factual statement or an order, depending on context and tone. "I need you to" is much less direct or assertive. It is framing yourself as the person with the problem and asking for help to solve it, which is not actually the case when eg someone is being late or failing to do their job.
I am sure it works and I suspect it is probably the best method for a woman dealing with people would resent her for the sort of clarity and assertiveness that is standard for men.
