When we communicate with each other in a workplace, it is really important to respect each other, and debate with arguments instead of attacking our partner with aggressive behaviour. On the other hand, if we are to easy on our employees, then our position as a leader is in danger in no time. Everyone would realize that we are not confident, and they gonna link it to our lack of professional experience. The employees gonna be unmotivated, and behave like they want to, they won't be cooperative with us etc.
We have to find a way to communicate between being aggressive and being passive. That is being assertive. When you are confident, you can defend your opinion and you can deliver your job on a high level, everybody is gonna respect you, and look at you as a leader.
What does it mean to be aggressive? Watch this video of an agent, who is highly emotional, and way too aggressive (but really successful as well, because he is good in his job, and that's the most important thing, to be an expert).
And you also have to be open for the ideas of others. All in all, I think a lot of things depend again on the personality of the boss and the employee.
