Communication is essential for any group to function. However with different types of people in every group, there are different styles of communication. To be an effective leader, one must be able to utilize each style of communication so as to relate to every member of the group. Without relating to your other group members, you have a group full of leaders, or “too many cooks in the kitchen.” The problem with that is a lack of communication, and ultimately a lack of execution due to personal differences. The four styles of communication are direct, spirited, considerate, and systematic. Each has their pros and cons. For example, the direct style is best for getting goals accomplished in crunch time, but not for social situations whereas the spirited side is the opposite. Considerate styles are agreeable, not acquiescent, and systematic styles are orderly and logical.
These being the words of Jordan K. Macon
