No, do be that guy.
I am working with some of the kids at my school now and you HAVE to have your boundaries set immediately or they will walk all over you.
The first day I worked with them I tried being nice and that got me nowhere. I came in the next day with the benefit of my Mother's 20+ years of teaching advice to take no shit and that day got RESULTS. Not only did they actually listen, they had a lot more respect for me when they knew I wasn't going to take shit from them.
Plus I brought cookies, lol. Those who do good work WILL be rewarde when they work with me.
