You’ve decided to refuse to play your part in the dysfunctional relationship(s) by choosing to be assertive. When we are assertive we choose to handle ourselves, our reactions, our relationships, and stressful situations in a healthy, responsible, and non-manipulative manner. We understand that we have choices. Remember that you will be treated exactly as you feel you deserve to be treated. Communication is a learned skill.

It doesn’t take long for a manager to bump into an employee with an “attitude.” Evaluating an employee as having an “attitude” also depends on what bothers a manager, as the same behavior may be just fine with another manager.

Most managers unintentionally create low morale in their work group. There are several reasons why their leadership does this.

Dealing with people is definitely an art. Human beings are bundles of emotions and to deal with them, knowing them and getting the job done through them requires a definite set of skills. Further, handling mediocre, difficult and brilliant people at work for an HR is not an easy task.

In your employees’ eyes, the totality of your leadership is dependent upon the things that they see you do. That means things like your ethics, values, morals, attitude, beliefs, character, skill, knowledge, etc. are closely watched and examined by those you are leading. Your action as a leader counts a lot in achieving credible leadership.
