Being assertive is about finding a balance between your own needs and rights and other peoples’ needs and rights. We all have the right to express ourselves openly and stand up for our point of view, but at the same time, we have the responsibility to acknowledge and respect the rights and beliefs of others.
You can probably think of a time at work when you experienced the fight-or-flight response: your heartbeat quickened, you began breathing faster, and your entire body became tense. You are now primed for action, but what kind of action should you take? Stand your ground and fight back, or run away to safety?
The threatening situations we face in the workplace require a different kind of response. We must learn to control our instincts, choose a more rational response, and use this to our advantage.
Behaving assertively means finding an outcome where everybody wins and nobody is forced to fight or to flee.
