Words have always mattered, but they are especially important in times of high stress, anxiety, and remote work. In fact, the most effective assertiveness happens calmly, factually, and directly. Send a note to a manager about their direct report. Courage requires digging deep to get clear on what is worth fighting for.

Management and administrative support professionals, as all employees, feel like they don’t have enough hours in the day to complete their work. Employees feel time-compressed.

Although you must also assert some flexibility into the system, this does not mean you have to abandon its constant reinforcement.

Be assertive, state your case, and give and ask for solutions. Think before reacting. Think about the ramifications if you react one way versus another. Truth Hurts.
