00:00:00.030 --> 00:00:03.629
for most of us our relationship with our

00:00:02.190 --> 00:00:05.910
supervisor is the most important

00:00:03.629 --> 00:00:07.440
relationship we have at work but

00:00:05.910 --> 00:00:09.740
relationship can influence your job

00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:12.840

00:00:09.740 --> 00:00:14.450
bonuses and even opportunities and

00:00:12.840 --> 00:00:17.039
recommendations for career advancement

00:00:14.450 --> 00:00:19.080
this working relationship contributes to

00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:21.720
your overall impression about your work

00:00:19.080 --> 00:00:23.880
and the workplace your supervisor may

00:00:21.720 --> 00:00:26.010
significantly impact your future but it

00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:27.420
makes sense to invest time and energy

00:00:26.010 --> 00:00:30.119
into building your relationship with

00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:31.410
them now being assertive when

00:00:31.410 --> 00:00:35.059
effectively manage workplace challenges

00:00:33.030 --> 00:00:36.989
before they turn into big problem

problems that can impact your work

00:00:36.989 --> 00:00:41.969
performance and your attitude being

00:00:39.690 --> 00:00:43.950
assertive means being proactive having a

00:00:41.969 --> 00:00:45.629
plan and not responding emotionally to

00:00:43.950 --> 00:00:48.270
situations that feel disagreeable or

00:00:45.629 --> 00:00:50.070
