In the case when a senior vice president yelled at me (I worked for the president), I retained my self-composure. Within a couple of days, when the hub bub of activity had blown over, I asked to speak with her privately. After closing the door, I asked her if she would extend me the courtesy of speaking to me in a normal voice. That was it; she never shouted at me again.
On another occasion, my boss (the president) shouted at me. I was shocked and was quiet. Within the next couple of days, I sat down and talked with him. I let him know that I had great respect for him. I cannot recall the exact wording, but I let him know that his shouting would have the effect of diminishing that respect. He never repeated that mistake.
I pulled a coworker aside and let her know that I'd prefer to be spoken to in a civil tone. We had no problems afterwards.
