Aside from benefits like reduced stress and better working relationships between employees, assertiveness has a number of key benefits that all contribute to the company's productiveness in various ways.
Assertive employees show the following traits:
They take responsibility for finding out who to ask about any situation, instead of letting hold ups dictate their productivity.
They seek to find win-win and fair outcomes and solutions to problems.
They are able to work unsupervised, knowing what procedures to follow and who to ask should problems arise.
They have the confidence to volunteer and say yes to new projects, knowing that assistance is available along the way and that mistakes are opportunities to learn.
They are able to say no and set boundaries to ensure all of their deadlines are met timously.
They are better problem solvers.
They are more decisive, leading to less time wasted over arbitrary decisions.
They are able to provide negative feedback in a constructive and helpful manner, and are able to, while not necessarily agreeing with negative feedback, still receive it in a gracious way.
