Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Assertiveness refers to directly standing up for one's positions and making demands, which is exactly what Chris is doing by going to the promotion committee meeting to discuss his reasons for wanting a promotion. This is different from bargaining, which involves seeking a compromise or mutually beneficial solution, ingratiating, which involves using flattery or charm to win over others, or consultation, which involves seeking input from others before making a decision.
