Straight Talking helps to equip people with the confidence they need to get their views and ideas noticed. This humorous video, staring John Cleese, shows techniques of assertive behavior in a variety of different settings from a management meeting to a one-to-one conversation between colleagues.
Straight Talking clearly teaches that the basic rule of assertive behavior is honesty and that it's usually for fear of the response that honesty is avoided. However, for most of us, this fear is generally over-exaggerated. This Video Arts program is highly reassuring on this point for anyone who has doubts about volunteering what they think - even when asked to do so. Honest, assertive behavior should be the rule. Aggressive behavior doesn't work in the long run. That's why it's important to establish a negotiating position and stick to it.
