Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The response "Okay" is nonassertive because it does not clearly express the individual's needs or desires. It may also be interpreted as passive or submissive. An assertive response would clearly state the individual's needs while respecting the supervisor's request, and an aggressive response would be confrontational and disrespectful.
