Assertiveness is a two-edged sword. It is important for you to be heard and your ideas at least acknowledged, even if not used every time. At the same time, running over everyone else’s thoughts leads to harmful confrontations and hurt feelings when everything is one-sided. Positive discussion and constructive ideas with input from all workers are the best way for everyone to succeed and gain.
The person who loses the most is the one whose ideas are always chosen and used. It is because everyone else feels left out when they are never considered and slowly lose faith and interest in the projects. They end up doing less and less, which means the main idea person is stuck struggling to keep the projects moving forward.
A happy office is one where everyone knows they are heard and considered during discussions and idea sessions. Each person knows they have an essential role to play and feels appreciated for their work.
