When using assertive communication,a person would respond to criticism by acknowledging the issue and taking direct action to correct the problem.An apologetic response is not assertively taking responsibility for the forgotten task.Telling the person "you should have reminded me sooner" is placing the responsibility for the forgotten task onto another person.Telling the person you are busy is denying the issue.
