We hope that you are enjoying the weekend with family and loved ones.
As we wrap up the topic on communication, it was important for us to share the five communication styles.
It would be interesting to know what category we think best describes us vs the categories our family, friends, and co-workers would choose.
The Five Communication Styles
Assertive communication style. This is the best style of communication. It is the most effective communication style. It is born of high self-esteem and is neither too passive and too aggressive.
Aggressive communication style. These type of people can focus on winning even if it is at the other person’s expense. They behave as if their needs are more important.
The Passive-Aggressive Communication Style. This is a communication style where a person appears to be passive on the outside, but are indirectly acting out their anger.
The Submissive Communication Style. These type of people try their best to please others and avoid conflict. They treat the needs of other as more important than theirs.
The Manipulative Communication Style. People employing this style are scheming, shrewd and calculating. Manipulative communicators are great at influencing and controlling others for their own benefit.
Well, as you ponder over which communication style best fits you….
Keep being “Amazing!”
