Assertiveness
“How would you describe your assertiveness?”
- “I have been able to step up to the plate on more than one
occasion when no one else would lead a project. I guess you
could consider that initiative as well. When I see that there
is a problem and that I can solve that problem, I move forward.
I am careful to work with the team if that is the situation
that I am in.”
- “My open communication style has allowed me to be assertive
on several occasions when things became tense among employees
or when there was a problem between another employee and me.
I firmly believe that talking something through in a nonconfrontational
style is the best solution most of the time.”
- “At my last company I was promoted to lead person because
of my ability to speak up when I saw a problem and to suggest
a solution whenever I had one. I have learned to speak up when
I see a more efficient way of doing things, as long as I am
not stepping on someone else’s toes.”
