Three types of people on the job..
Nonassertive people. These people have difficulty expressing thoughts and feelings because they lack confidence. Non assertive people may become unhappy because they permit others to abuse their rights. They project their feelings of unhappiness to others.
Aggressive people. These people violate the rights of others with domineering, pushy behavior. Their goal is to dominate because they fear loss of control. Overly aggressive employees drive business away.
Assertive people. Assertive behavior is essential to achieving career success. Assertive people are confident, express their needs and opinions comfortably, and are sensitive to the feelings and needs of others. Employers want assertive employees because assertive behavior projects capability and promotes a healthy, productive working environment.
Me, I'm the nonassertive one, which I have to change. 90% of my coworkers are aggressive, which doesn't look like it will end well.
I was reading an old book from when I was in Chubb. Just thought that was interesting.
