One of the key skills for an entrepreneur and an employee is Communication Skills. Communication Skills are those qualities that help you maintain \u00a0good relationships in your personal life and work life. Moreover, they help you communicate effectively such that your message reaches across exactly like you want to, with minimum distortions in the meaning. We\u2019ve already established the importance of such skills <\/span>here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

There are certain types of personalities based on this –<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Passive<\/b>: Changing minds according to others\u2019 preferences, submissive behaviour<\/span><\/li>\n

    Assertive individuals are those who can get their point across without hurting or upsetting anyone; also, without upsetting yourself. One of the major myths revolving around this trait is that assertive people always have the \u201cI\u2019m always right\u201d approach. It\u2019s time to bust that myth. Assertive people ARE NOT always right, instead they are always understanding. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Being assertive is composed of two elements –<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Standing up for your faiths, beliefs and, principles.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Respecting others\u2019 faiths, beliefs and, principles.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
