Scenario: You have several projects coming at you at once.
- A passive person would over-commit in an attempt to please everyone, but end up pleasing no one.
- An assertive person would say, “I can finish two projects today but not three. Which two would you like me to complete?”
- An aggressive person would get angry and say, “You are always asking me to do everything and I can’t do it all,” or an aggressive person would use hurt and say, “I love my job but I just can’t work this hard all the time.”
- An assertive person would say, “You take a lot of personal phone calls at work. We are a team here and I rely on you. What can we do to fix it?”
- An aggressive person would yell and say, “I have to do everything and you never help me.”
- A passive would just do all the work, not say a word and go home late and be tired and suffer in silence.
- A passive-aggressive would be nice to the colleague while secretly trying to destroy him or her.
