A simple method to consistently be assertive (not passive or aggressive) is to use the 3 R’s. Relationships, Rights, Respect.
We are all involved in professional and personal relationships.
Within each of these relationships, we and the other person have certain rights.
It is necessary that we treat ourselves and others, our rights and their rights, with respect.
