Domineering people are likely to assert themselves confidently and be accepted as leaders. Cooperative people are likely to accept the leadership of domineering people --- and become enslaved to domineering people within addictive-codependent relationships. Domineering people are NOT likely to understand and respond to suggestions that they be less domineering. Cooperative people are NOT likely to understand and respond to suggestions that they be more assertive and willing to take on leadership positions. People need not be domineering to be assertive in a balanced way. Cooperative people need not give up the virtue of cooperation to be more assertive. All people need to work together to achieve the essential balance by integrating the complementary virtues of "cooperation" and "assertiveness". (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
