Principles to Remember
Do:
- Assess your own degree of assertiveness and ask others for feedback
- Set realistic goals to make small changes in your behavior and stick to them
- Forge relationships with colleagues outside of work so that you feel more comfortable speaking up
Don't:
- Assume that assertiveness is always a good thing — the context you work in and your gender both matter
- Try to imitate someone else's behavior — you can change while still being true to who you are
- Overcompensate and become aggressive — balance assertiveness with consideration of others
