Use and Abuse of Assertion Training for Management Development

Abstract

Good and bad justifications for Assertion Training are examined, and it is emphasised that it is crucial trainees are selected by need, not status. AT must be treated as complementary to other training activities. The relationship of assertiveness and aggression is discussed. Effective AT concentrates on inner feelings. There are problems and possibilities in AT for women.
