Abstract: Knowing your own, and others’, communication style is one of the most important aspects in building trust, influencing, and managing people. Each communication style has its own strengths and drawbacks and it’s important for you to know what they are so you can leverage peoples’ strengths and fill-in where there are gaps. You will identify your personal style and learn how to recognize other styles in order to adapt your style to theirs. Great managers demonstrate flexibility to get the best results.
