Assertiveness Chart

We have created an Assertiveness Chart to show you when you benefit and when you lose. It is simple to follow.

Read the up-and-down columns to find out what behaviors will get you what you want, and what behaviors will not get you what you want.

Read across the top row to see what behaviors do get other people what they want, and across the bottom row to see what behaviors do not get others what they want.

As you can see, when you are Passive, you don’t get what you want.

When you are Aggressive you do get what you want, but at the expense of others.

And when you are Assertive you get what you want, and others get something also.
