The bulldozer....Are you too aggressive?

Aggressiveness. This course teaches you how to identify, then change, what it is about you that makes you come across as too aggressive--perhaps like a bulldozer.

You are very clear about what you want to do in your work, and you know what to do to meet your goals. Your plans are well-tested and have proven successful many times before. It doesn’t make sense for you to wait for others to "get it" because time is wasted in the process and you already know what needs to be done. Some people describe you as a natural born leader.

You enjoy taking a directive role and would rather manage than be managed. You see that you are strong and forceful in the delivery of your message. You usually don’t mean anything by your tone or manner. It’s not personal as far as you’re concerned. You are interested in results and progress, and you design your efforts to avoid mishaps and catastrophes. Too often, however, others get the wrong idea about you. They sometimes see you as pushy, aggressive, and overly competitive. They think you may have a tendency to become angry too quickly. Some have grown intimidated and don’t share their ideas with you as readily, while others have become more aggressive and pushy with you. The result is the team isn’t functioning the way you meant for it to. Your efforts are actually backfiring.

It’s enough to make you squirm a bit, but that’s only because it rings true. The good news is, you can learn how to make some serious and lasting changes in that pattern. In this course, you learn to moderate aggressiveness and improve cooperation from others in the process. A licensed psychologist and business consultant takes you, step-by-step, through your self-improvement process.

This self-improvement process is exactly the same process you would go through in professional treatment, but you do it yourself (or with a friend) at a much lower cost. The  course consists of a guidance document you read as you work through the underlying issues of your problem.
