The thing is you don't really need to do any of that stuff. You just need to know that you will.

Just knowing that if people don't respect you, you will lay the smackdown, is enough. People will sense that from you and pay attention. If you come from a position where you don't have that belief, then yes you may need to act like a dick a couple of times. Just untill you know you've got that in your arsenal and are not afraid to bring it out.
