More on Assertiveness
Assertive behaviour
means saying what we want,
need, feel, think or believe in in
ways which are direct, honest and
appropriate, but also respects the
rights of those we are addressing
- treating ourselves and those we
work with as professional adults.
It's the balance between
passive and aggressive behaviour
it is a compromise.
