At my organization, the Dominant style is the most common style of communication that is used. Thinking logically, wanting facts and highlights, needing to be in charge, and delegating are the characteristics most shown in this style at my work. The Conscientious style is also used, as we’re extremely focused on seeking data, knowing the process, and gravitate towards quality control.undefinedWhat does communication require of you as a member of this company?undefinedAs a member of my company, communication requires me to display and show reasoning, provide concise data, allow others to take the lead when appropriate, and look for new opportunities. Giving data in writing, providing explanations and rationale, and letting others be involved in the quality control process when possible are additional communication requirements that I am faced with.undefinedWhat interferes with or serve as obstacles to communication in this company?undefinedAll team members not being on board with my company’s communication style serves as an obstacle. The company has developed a very specific communication style, and therefore it is sometimes difficult for employees to adapt to this style when coming from other companies.undefinedWhat does successful communication look and feel like at your company?undefinedSuccessful communication at my company is when all team members are able to express their ideas freely without any backlash or judgement from other team members. This allows ideas to be shared and for maximum collaboration to occur. Successful communication at my company also is short and to the point – we have a specific writing style that is used internally that simplifies all emails and memos.undefinedWhat happens if your communication is unsuccessful or below average?undefinedTasks often are not completed if our communication is unsuccessful or below average. Not having strong communication leads to employees not knowing what their assigned responsibilities are and creates confusion amongst team members. This can be avoided if all team members work to communicate effectively.undefinedCOLLEAGUE 2 RESPONSE:undefined The day-to-day communication styles used in my workplace are usually informal and relaxed conversations. Typically, there are come icebreakers and personal discussion when beginning a meeting, for example. We quickly change gears and get down to business, however, but in a non-threatening way. Influence would be the most relatable behavior style used at my company. As a member of my company, I am expected to communicate thoroughly and swiftly. My company has a fast-paced environment where things are everchanging, so it is very important to have quick and clear communication. However, it is also expected to be respectful and friendly when communicating. Adaptability is key as there are many different behavior styles. Lack of adaptability could be an obstacle to communication. If I don’t react well to another person’s behavior/communication style, it could cause tension between us, impacting our working relationship. It could also lead me to not care for their opinion or asks so could impact the actual work being done. Other factors, especially in today’s world, is technology. Most meetings are now online so if our technology suffers, our communication suffers. Also, not being in the office close to the people you work closely with removes the quick conversations and leads to less overall communication since people may not want to take the time to schedule time with someone online to have a quick conversation. Successful communication leads to results while also pleasing the parties involved. If someone left a very productive meeting on edge or angry from the conversation, I would not call that meeting a success. Yes, it was productive, however, the upset person could lead to a poor working environment for others and will more than likely impact that person’s motivation for at minimum the rest of the day. Successful communication is productive, considering everyone’s point of view, no matter their level in the company. It also builds positive relationships that will consistently lead to better communication. As mentioned earlier, unsuccessful communication can lead to lack of motivation from employees. It can impact the working environment for everyone around. Poor communication can lead to people being upset that they are caught off guard by something. This can lead to higher employee turnover and cause the company more money and resources to continuously onboard new hires, also potentially hurting results. The feeling of being “in the know†is important to me and feel that it is important to have in a successful company. Obviously, things can get missed and results can suffer if have below average communication as well.
