Assertive communication is essential in both work and interpersonal relationships. It consists of effectively expressing one’s emotions and ideas while respecting the dignity and opinions of others. This article aims to explore the definition of assertive communication, the importance of this mode of communication, and the skills needed to succeed in it.
