With my subordinates, I'm direct, but not an asshole. With my management team, I expect them to not make stupid mistakes, and if they do make them, they're going to hear from me.
Designers are generally introverted. Two people of my management team need to practice the art of not giving a fuck. Or at least practice being able to separate emotion and work. It's not like what I call them out on is subjective anyway, it's very objective.
Simply, I think that creating a "safe space" can lead to inefficiency. (Or people really just need to grow a backbone.)

As long as you are considerate of your employees given the professional setting you are fine.
As for your mgmt team, they need to learn to call a spade a spade and it's ok to debate as long as it's respectful and you aren't making personal attacks.
If mgmt team cannot be transparent with respect, make its time to look at installing an advisory board as an objective third party.
