Being Aggressive is not the same as being Assertive
AggressionMay help
you get what you want,
but it is usually at the
expense of someone
else.
In long run, you win
yourself more enemies
than allies.
Being overly aggressive
at work may jeopardize
your career
advancement &
professional
relationship.
Assertiveness is about
articulating your
thoughts in a
respectable manner.
In today’s business
environment, being
assertive is more
important than ever.
Text messaging & e-
mails provide lesser
face-time interaction.
This has made it harder
for people to get their
point across.
AGGRESSIVE ASSERTIVE
Adapted from – Five ways to be more effective at work by Hector Tan,
The Straits Times, Feb 11, 2016, Singapore
Be Positive Even When
You Do Not Feel Like.
Co-operation That Is
Mutually Beneficial
Agree On Needs & Wants
Be Objective
Listen & Pay Attention
