Based on an extract from an MIT USA course on communications
Research indicates that each of us has a default communications style from one of the following:
-Analyst – data focus
-Innovator – creative focus
-Producer – results focus
-Diplomat – people focus
We may have some qualities from all four of the above but it is observed that we generally communicate using a pre-dominant or default style. There is nothing bad or good about these styles; it is just a question of different people using different styles. Some people are more “adaptable” as they have a strong relationship to each style; some are very predictable because they hardly ever traverse out of their style or are known to not have another style. So what do we do with this knowledge? Well, it can help us to understand and appreciate those around us rather than judging them…
