The only person you really need to concern yourself with is the guy you work for, and maybe the over all boss. Those two people happy with your performance, everyone else can suck on lemons.

As far as your Dominant personality trait. It's part of who you are. Don't stifle yourself for others. If you do, you're smothering your own personality for the sake of others. Doesn't sound true to yourself to me.
I have to agree with CD here, Tom - stifling yourself in the least little manner will grow resentment within yourself and start to cloud other parts of your life that you are happy with. If they have issues with you, it is on Them only to resolve, and not for you to have to carry the insecurities they want to put upon you.

This is something I've been learning to overcome myself as a Business Manager for most of my career, I've come up against many people who think a soft little blonde gurl has no business running an Oil & Gas plant shut-down lol. Only in the last couple of years have I finally started recognizing that it's their insecurity at not being able to do the kind of work I do and although I strive for Everyone to always like me and be happy, that's not always going to be the case and I have to stick to my guns (personality) and not let it affect me or the other parts of my life

I think as a Dominant, it would be harder. Being a natural leader and a confident person is enough to wake the sleepiest insecurities in other people and no amount of stifling it will help I don't think

Good luck
