I’m honored to have been quoted in another great Forbes article. It’s titled “16 Instances in Which It Is Appropriate for an Employee to Say No.”

In the article, I shared my thoughts on when employees can assert themselves and say no in the workplace. One key point I emphasized is the importance of careful consideration before declining a work request. Employees should take the time to evaluate their own responsibilities and commitments. Before saying “no,” it’s essential to ask questions to understand the request’s importance and to provide alternative solutions. This approach ensures that employees remain helpful without compromising relationships, their own priorities, or the organization’s needs.

This Forbes article provides essential guidance for employees navigating challenging situations and determining when it’s appropriate to assert themselves. In addition to my contribution, you’ll discover several other instances in which employees can rightfully say no.
