1 Assertive Myths

Assertiveness in leadership is frequently mistaken for rudeness or lack of empathy. However, being assertive actually means communicating your thoughts and needs clearly and respectfully. It involves setting boundaries and standing up for yourself without infringing on the rights of others. As a leader, cultivating assertiveness is about finding a balance where you can be direct and honest while maintaining positive relationships with your colleagues. It's a skill that requires practice and self-awareness, not an inherent personality trait that some possess and others lack.

Uma coisa que reparei é que mulheres assertivas s?o muitas vezes rotuladas de agressivas. O machismo estrutural presente nas organiza??es faz com que a assertividade nas mulheres seja percebida como amea?a. No seu livro "How to be successful without hurting men′s feelings", Sarah Cooper dedica um capítulo inteiro para falar de comunica??o. é um dos temas que acho importante abordar com a lideran?a.

2 Confidence Clarity

Confidence in leadership is often misinterpreted as having all the answers or never experiencing doubt. In reality, confidence is about trusting in your abilities and judgment while being open to learning and growth. It's the willingness to take calculated risks and make decisions even when the outcome is uncertain. A confident leader isn't someone who never fails but is someone who learns from setbacks and continues to move forward. This kind of confidence is infectious and can empower your entire team to strive for success.

Confidence is all about showing that you are human and make mistakes too, but you use them to learn from and grow. As a leader being vulnerable and opening up to your team in this way can feel counter intuitive but it helps them to understand that you are not looking for perfection which in turn gives them the confidence to try new innovative things safe in the knowledge that it won’t always run smoothly and to plan but you will be open to supporting them to learn from there

3 Empathy Balance

A common misconception is that assertive and confident leaders lack empathy. On the contrary, empathy is a crucial component of these leadership qualities. It allows you to understand and consider the feelings of others while communicating your own perspective. Balancing assertiveness with empathy leads to respectful interactions that build trust and foster a supportive team environment. By practicing empathetic leadership , you demonstrate that you value your team members not just for their work but also as individuals.

Empathy can be a tricky balance to get right. When you have empathy it becomes very easy to take on everyone’s circumstances and emotions as your own Balance this with remembering your needs too. Looking after your own wellbeing is key, when you are in a strong place energetically it’s much easier to differentiate your needs from their needs and keep a balance

Lors de la préparation du TEDx Avenue des Pépinières, nous avons cultivé cet équilibre. En valorisant les idées de chacun et en écoutant activement, nous avons construit une équipe forte et unie, prête à relever tous les défis. Il est crucial de maintenir un équilibre entre l'affirmation de soi et l'empathie ce qui renforce la confiance et favorisent un environnement de travail harmonieux. L'affirmation de soi signifie exprimer clairement ses idées et ses besoins, sans hésitation. Donc, que vous dirigiez une équipe pour un événement ou dans votre quotidien professionnel, rappelez-vous de toujours équilibrer l'affirmation de soi avec l'empathie. C'est la clé pour batir des relations solides et une équipe harmonieuse.

4 Decision Dynamics

Some believe that assertive leaders make decisions unilaterally, disregarding the input of others. True assertiveness in decision-making, however, involves soliciting diverse perspectives before reaching a conclusion. It's about being decisive, not dictatorial. An effective leader knows when to lead the charge and when to step back and listen, creating a dynamic where team members feel their contributions are valued and considered in the decision-making process.

Vejo esse ponto da dinamica de decis?o muito como a autorresponsabilidade do líder. N?o existe tomada decis?o sem comunica??o. E uma comunica??o assertiva envolve aprender a ouvir diferentes pontos de vista para formular o seu próprio, a partir de argumentos claros e da constru??o de uma decis?o que leve em considera??o todo o contexto apresentado.

5 Mistake Management

There's a myth that confident leaders are infallible and that admitting mistakes is a sign of weakness. In fact, embracing mistakes is a hallmark of strong leadership. It demonstrates humility and a commitment to continuous improvement. When you acknowledge your errors and take steps to correct them, you set a positive example for your team and encourage a culture where learning from failure is seen as a pathway to innovation and excellence.

6 Growth Mindset

Finally, it's important to debunk the notion that assertiveness and confidence are fixed traits. Like any other skills, they can be developed through a growth mindset. This means recognizing that your abilities can be strengthened over time with effort, feedback, and perseverance. Leadership development coaching can play a significant role in fostering this mindset, helping you to embrace challenges as opportunities for personal and professional growth.
