In general, most people will fit into one of four different communication styles that are found at the workplace; the expresser, the driver, the relater or the analytical. The expresser is someone who gets excited, likes to ask questions that relate to people, like to see feedback and recognition for their work and need to be inspired to accomplish bigger and better things. The driver is someone that likes to have their own way and have strong viewpoints, they do not like someone that wastes their time, are measured by results and are very goal oriented, and if you allow them freedom to do their own thing they will strive. The relater is one that likes positive attention and helping other people, they like to be measured by their friendships and close relationships, they should be allowed to care for and be cared for by others and if you provide them with specific details and plans they will accomplish much. The analytical style is one that asks a lot of questions and behave methodically and systematically, don’t like making an error or being unprepared, they like to have a lot of data and information to make decisions and they will work best with a structured framework and timeline to follow. Which type are you?
