4 different communication and collaboration styles
In cooperation, there are four distinct communication styles that greatly influence how people connect with those around them. Each person possesses aspects of each style, but they may find that they resonate more strongly with one than the other.
Passive
Passive communicators may find it difficult or impossible to convey their feelings, needs, or ideas. As a result, they are more likely to prioritize the needs of others over their own, even at their own loss. Passive communicators are notoriously nonconfrontational, acting indifferently or falsely agreeable in times of conflict and, as a result, having trouble defining boundaries and saying no.
Assertive
In their encounters, assertive communicators use open, real, and direct communication. They express themselves with meaning and honesty, and their actions usually match their words. They may discover methods to express themselves while also taking into account the feelings, wants, and views of others around them, fostering open and honest discussions in which everyone gets an opportunity to speak. With "I" words, assertive communicators claim ownership of their sentiments or actions ("I feel ...). Assertive communication is regarded to be the most successful kind of communication and the ideal to strive for in each conversation since it is healthy, courteous, and honest.
Aggressive
In a gathering, an aggressive communicator stands out; these individuals are frequently the loudest in the room, shouting over others and driving the narrative during a debate. Aggressive communicators have a hard time listening to others or contemplating how their actions, words, or ideas can affect people. When addressed, these individuals will react with protective anger or aggressiveness, and may even disregard their point of view or issue entirely. Because they demand respect and domination by nature, these communicators frequently rise to positions of leadership or power.
Passive-Aggressive
Passive-aggressive communicators may appear satisfied on the surface, but they may be harboring animosity that may eventually show in subtle ways. While these individuals are aware of their thoughts and demands, they have difficulty expressing them and confessing to anger or how they genuinely feel. They are quite excellent at acting that everything is OK while, in truth, they are suffering silently. Their resentment or hostility may be expressed via actions like gossip, silent treatment, under-the-breath comments, or other nonverbal or indirect communication.
