Your work isn't always going to run smoothly, and passive-aggressiveness won't change that. Instead of simmering in silence or working behind the scenes to get even, asserting yourself can actually make things better. The reason many of us don't respond to obstacles in the workplace this way, though, is because we often see assertion as an individual thing—something we do for our own benefit, like asking for a raise or promotion, or defending our ideas in a meeting.
But you can use the same tactics on behalf of your team to resolve challenges facing all of you, boost morale, and help get everyone remotivated.
