No it's not. It's how mature and experienced you are.
I am learning this as I continue to grapple with the daily ups and downs of my new job; of being in charge of people who are straight out of college, moody, reactionary, and have little experience of the world, or maturity to quantify it.
I constantly have to remind them not to do this, and not to do that, and to explain why I am or am not doing something myself.
Why? Because they don't understand the way the world works. They think they can just do things or say things in a certain way, and it will all be OK; that no-one will take offence at how they have said it, etc.
With the benefit of my years, I can see and understand how things work, and therefore know (most of the time) how things should be, and how I must relate to people.
I admit I'm not perfect, and this has shown up several times this week, but I am still learning. We are all still learning, gaining experience, and growing more mature. And we never stop.
