What Is A Communication Style?
A Communication Style is a person’s natural communication patterns and preferences they use in a wide variety of situations.
Communication Style Definition
A Communication Style is a person’s natural communication patterns and preferences they use in a wide variety of situations.
Unfortunately, doing what comes naturally is not a reliable recipe for success in communicating, which is why it is important to step up, take responsibility, understand the communication preferences of other people, and adapting your behavior and Communication Style to other people’s preferences.
Understanding your natural tendencies, strengths, and challenges and adapting to others turns luck into skill which is a much more reliable strategy for communication success.
Quick Facts About Communication Styles
More About Communication Styles
Another characteristic of Communication Styles is that we communicate most easily with people who are most like us (closest to us on the Circle of Styles).
This works great on teams where everyone is similar, but can lead to challenges when communicating with others in the organization who have different tendencies.
It’s also important to know that communication styles are situational.
Usually you will find that you instinctively adapt your Communication Style depending on where you are or who you’re talking to, but not always. Some people are simply difficult for you to be effective with.
Here's an example:
When we’re with friends or family, we probably behave and talk differently than we do at work. When we want to convey something important to someone in any situation—at work or in social situation—we make conscious efforts to adapt and do what will work best in that situation.
The Communication Styles 2.0™ circle of styles gives you an easy way to understand how you will communicate with others when everyone uses their natural style.
