A simple defintion of the difference between assertiveness and aggression could be that in being assertive you stand up for yourself, being aggressive you try to put down others.
An assertive boss will get the respect and action from their staff, an aggressive boss may get some short term results but could lead to tension and disharmony in the long run.
The line between assertiveness and aggression and often be blurred particularly by the young or those new to positions of responsibility.
My advice would be to live by the rule of respect. Try to add value to those around you at every attempt and be accountable for every action you take.
