Listen "Assertiveness Skills for Supervisors "
Episode Synopsis
Join host Andy Morrison for a look at a crucial tool in your leadership toolbox: assertiveness.
In this episode, Andy explores what it means to be assertive, why it's an important leadership skill, and how you can develop assertiveness to communicate your needs effectively while respecting others.
Andy provides two practical tools you can use to practice assertive communication: the 2-Step Redirect and the Assertiveness Framework. These tools will help you describe poor behavior and offer specific instructions for improvement, ensuring that you can handle challenging situations with confidence and respect.
In this week’s Pop Wisdom segment, Andy shares a classic scene from "The Office" where Michael Scott confronts an insubordinate Stanley. In one of Michael Scott’s moments of managerial excellence, he ends his crucial conversation with Stanley in an assertive manner that sets clear boundaries for their future interactions.
By the end of this episode, you'll have a clear understanding of assertiveness and practical tools to implement in your daily work life. Whether you're a supervisor looking to lead with confidence or an employee aiming to communicate more effectively, this episode is packed with valuable insights.
