Mr Nice Guy vs Mr Twitch

In an aggressive - and increasingly - alpha male corporate culture, niceness is seen as sign of weakness.

Mr Nice Guy: Mr. Nice guy would try to couch things in a way that seeks to maintain the ego of the other party, and look for a synthesis of ideas.

Mr Twitch: Not just speed, also severity: Mr. Twitch, on the other hand, is looking for gains on every transaction, and is therefore looking for one up on every situation. It doesn't matter if the other guy is right - just counter with a severity that the other person cannot comprehend, and is therefore forced to back off.
