Developing your assertiveness skills as a manager is crucial. Not only in terms of being able to maintain
performance and quality standards in the workplace, but also in terms of having a wider influence and impact in your
organisation.
There will be occasions when reasonable standards might not
be met by staff, and you will need to address these situations in an assertive manner. There will be occasions when more senior
management or customers seek to place unreasonable expectations upon your group, and these situations will need to be
dealt with assertively.
There will be times when peers or colleagues over-step your boundaries, and these must
be dealt with in an assertive manner.
Firm, friendly and fair is not always an easy balance to maintain.
There are some managers who are either too aggressive in their pursuit of their goals , and other managers who
are overly accomodating and who seek to avoid conflict almost at any cost..
