If you asked most people if there's a difference between being assertive and being outright aggressive, they'd tell you yes. If you asked the same people to be less aggressive and be more assertive, they might have a hard time taking your advice. It's not as hard as it might seem. Here's how.
The adage "Kill 'em with kindness" holds
more water than you might think, especially when it comes to dealing
with tough personalities. Compassion isn't the same thing as
niceness. You can be compassionate without being sugar-coated,
especially when it comes to dealing with difficult people you work
with. The same applies for assertiveness: you can be assertive and
up-front without being aggressive and overpowering, and the people
you work with will appreciate the difference.
Everyone reacts at some time with defensiveness in
order to protect themselves: It’s universal. Those who are
defensive and reactive find it impossible to have healthy
relationships. Once you are aware of what sparks your own
defensiveness and that of others, you can make the choice to act and
react differently.
That being assertive isn't the same as being rude,
or putting your interests in front of everyone else's just about
letting people know what you need and what work needs to be done in a
direct way.
