An Efficient Communication Style Assessment
Effective communication in the workplace is extremely important. When communication breaks down, work will suffer and success is at stake. Managers and employees need a resource to help them develop better communication if their own efforts aren’t helping. This is where ‘What’s My Communication Style’ comes in.
This communication style assessment tool provides practical and easy-to-use advice that allows participants to gain mastery over their own communication behavior and shows them how to interpret the behavior of others in any situation. ‘What's My Communication Style?’ is part of the bestselling HRDQ Style Series and is a powerful centerpiece for management development and interpersonal skills training.
How it Works
‘What's My Communication Style?’ starts with a self-assessment (a communication style inventory) that takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. Participants respond to 24 different items relating to both verbal and nonverbal communication by selecting the statement that best reflects their own communication behavior. Each response is scored, providing individuals with a total summary for each of the four personal communication styles: direct, spirited, considerate, and systematic.
The majority of participants will show a clear preference for one of the communication styles, which becomes their dominant style. This communication style inventory is followed by a one hour of interpretation of scores, topic discussion, debriefing, and action planning. The ‘What's My Communication Style?’ facilitator guide also offers a workshop outline that expands the assessment into a 1.5-hour classroom training program.
