Addressing the issue of how well it is to “speak up” in the workplace requires a delicate and thorough approach. We must carefully examine the different facets of this topic, considering the people involved and assessing when we may be talking about authoritative behavior or when we may be talking about assertiveness. In fact, the subtle differences between assertiveness and simple rudeness is quite often very subjective, as are the strategies for managing emotions.

Those who know how to make good use of it can turn words into powerful tools of expression capable of convey emotions. This ability to vocally emphasize a word to highlight specific ideas adds a level of special intensity and great resonance to verbal communication.
