Passive and Aggressive
|
Posted By: MIISRAEL Bride on April 14, 2009 The everyday stress of the business world no matter what our careers has somehow, or will eventually finds its way to you. When it does, will you take the situation in a passive or aggressive approach. I've taken many hours of training that initilized in conducting behavior in an office setting. Role playing and team support helped me learn how to be proactive and productive in solution solving when these portals of stress arrive. You will want to be balanced in using passive and aggresive in moderation. If you're too passive you may be overlooked and not heard, or if you're too aggressive you can be often misunderstood as having an attitude problem. You'll have to practice a safety zone of both these characteristics of yourself thus meeting the best answer or proable outcome. Yes, we do carry both of them, sometimes we may deny we do. Making each one of them strong is a good practice, but keeping them at a balanced level is better. Staying professional you'll definitely be using both sooner, later and even often. Hope these little tidbits of advice helps in your daily office settings. Do you think I was being passive or aggressive? ...LOL!

...Here's a good example of passive aggressive behavior Miisrael... A coworker of mine asks me to work a shift that she had no intention of working. The reason she agreed to the shift was simply because she didn't want to hurt our manager's feelings. (((Lol))) I would have just said no out rightly, but to each his/her own. (((smiles))) Thursday, April 16th 2009 at 1:58PM |

That's a great example! She was passive in saying she would, when actually all the time she really didn't want to. I too would of said no, but maybe suggested that the manager check out anyone else to see if they could and if I decided to help out I would be willing without any hesitations. Because she said she would she then she should keep to her commitment. Jen that's exactly how it works. Thanks again.
