I prefer the term colleagues rather than subordinates. The latter can create a boss – slave culture. Treat people how they want to be treated. Not how you think they should be treated
That’s a great point, Lisa! Word choice does indeed reflect and shape culture. In Robert Cialdini’s fantastic new book Pre-Suasion, he mentions a healthcare company that refuses to use the word “bullet points” because it connotes violence and they are all about healing. He said he found it silly at first, but really shined through in their culture and distinctively fantastic work environment.
Just out of curiosity…if you’re trying to make the distinction of “persons who report to you” in particular – which term would you use? “Direct report”?
