The do’s and don’ts of working with 5 different types of communicators

Whether dealing with aggressive, passive, passive-aggressive, or assertive communicators, tailoring your approach to each style is key.

Effective communication is crucial for achieving successful outcomes in any interaction, whether in the workplace or personal life. But communication is only effective if it’s received. That’s why the best communicators adapt and adjust their approach depending on the communication style of the person they’re speaking with. It’s not about being inauthentic or fake, rather, it’s about being aware that different strokes work for different folks and there is not a “one-size-fits-all” approach to communication.
