Assertiveness Style Profile

Picture of Assertiveness Style Profile

Assertive people...

  • Feel empowered. They do not feel unjustly controlled by others.
  • Have an aura of dignity and calmness in their dealings with other people.
  • Are proactive—that is, they make things happen and are not reactive, or always waiting to respond to the words and actions of others.
  • Know their rights and responsibilities in dealing with others.
  • Avoid apologetic dialogue or submissive language and tone.
  • Are able to resist aggressive, manipulative, and passive ploys of other people.

A good definition of assertiveness is

Getting what you want from others without infringing upon their rights. We can all benefit from adopting an assertive style in interactions with others. While some people are able to do this naturally, most people, unfortunately, adopt other communication styles.

Assertiveness as a philosophy and technique

We can all benefit from adopting an assertive style in interactions with others, it is a communication philosophy and technique. It involves interacting with others in a confident and persistent manner, particularly when there is an element of conflict present.

There are no right or wrong answers when it comes to how you assert yourself but by increasing self-awareness you can increase your effectiveness in difficult situations.
