One extreme is excessive liabilities. For these people okay, not ever bring under discussion, are quiet and avoid confrontation and conflict at all costs.
The other is that the excessive aggressiveness. These people scare others, be intimidating when something is wrong are the first to say something, even so crabby or even violent.
These people do not hesitate to scream, throw objects into the air and do anything to achieve their goals.

Clearly, neither of these extremes is the ideal place to have good relations with others and at the same time achieve positive results in the company. There is a behavior that leads to simultaneously achieve these two objectives, the 'assertiveness. "
