Book Excerpt
How to Assert Yourself to Superiors
Asserting yourself is a direct way of expressing your feelings and needs clearly, politely and without hurting the other person's or party’s feelings or minimizing what you want to say.
To help you assert yourself to people who are your superiors such as your boss, parents, secular or religious leaders and all those in authority over you, remember the following assertiveness ASSERT mnemonic:
A  Assess your problems, feelings, goals, right, needs and wants
S  Set a convenient time and place to meet
S  State the problem clearly
***
A perfect example of how to assert yourself to your superiors is found in the book of Joshua where we can see Caleb Jephunneh asserting himself to Joshua who was his superior since God had chosen him to lead the Israelites after Moses had died. We can also see that Caleb followed the following assertiveness ASSERT steps:
A  Assess your problems, feelings, goals, right, needs and wants
Caleb assessed his situation and felt that he had a right to own Mount Hebron because it had been promised to him.
S  Set a convenient time and place to meet
Caleb approached Joshua in a place called Gilgal. (Joshua 14:6)
S  State the problem clearly
Caleb said to Joshua, “45 years have passed since God spoke the word to Moses that I should be given Mount Hebron and it is still not in my possession as the Anaks live there.” (Joshua 14:10)
