Tuesday Sep 21 at 6:27pmManage Discussion Entry Hello Professor and class, It
was kind of hard for me to pick a communication style, but if I could solely choose it
would be emotive. I feel using the emotive communication style is my preferred style
because my two jobs require me to be emotive.
Emotive consists of, showing interest in ideas, stay general and not detailed, and
build social relationships. It also includes allowing time for socializing. I am a
hairstylist as well as a bartender and these are the most efficient ways to stay
positive in a work area such as the two. It is true that over socializing can seem like
excess because just like hanging out and socializing you need your time.
Spending time to get to know yourself is just as important as socializing. Being
emotive benefits in a workplace for sure, hairstylists and bartenders have to be
social butterflies. It is how we promote our business and sell our service. You don't
want to make enemies you must remain neutral and non-argumentative. This
includes staying general and not detailed, keep conversations to a minimum
because it is still business.
Building a relationship with customers is also very important! You want them to keep
coming back, if you are positive, they will. I would not necessarily need to "flex" into
anything because I hold a little of every communication style. I am more of a time
and place kind of person. So whatever communication style is necessary is what
you'll get. ReplyReply to Comment

Wednesdays 22 at 4:37pmManage Discussion Entry After looking over the four
styles of communication, the style that best represents my style would be supportive.
I find myself being somewhat lower in the intensity of this communication style,because I do have attendance to have more assertive qualities than that of a person
with low dominance. Having the communication style supportive could be helpful in
the workplace, because it offers trustworthy advice that is not over bearing.
If I am wanting to be an interior designer, you have to be able to give your personal
options on a decision, but not push away your client’s opinions. It is also to have
high sociability, because clients want to feel a connection with the person designing
their space. A roadblock in this could be that your opinions get overlooked, because
they aren't always as assertive as needed. You could also run into the problem of
having too friendly of a relationship with clients, they are still your clients and don't
need to be your best friends.
If I were to "flex" into a different style it would most likely be emotive. I find that the
assertiveness combined with the likability of having high sociability could be helpful.
However, I wouldn't want to go to far into that style, because as a designer you don't
want to be seen as spontaneous with your designs. 224/200 ReplyReply to

WednesdaySep 22 at 10:24pmManage Discussion EntryProfessor &
Classmates,The preferred style of communication can be defined as the way an
individual prefers to convey information, feelings and ideas in a manner most
comfortable with them.My preferred style of communication is emotive. The emotive
style is characterized by enthusiasm, extroversion and dominance, sometimes
perceived by others as “pushy” or even “arrogant”. Emotive communication has a
sense of high dominance and is often more talkative. Reflective style of
communication would be my preferred style I will be willing to flex into. This style of
communication is characterized by individuals who are introverts and prefer to think
through their ideas before speaking. (E-text page 62) I sincerely believe reflective
style complements the emotive style and balances out its roadblocks.I have not
decided where I’d like to focus in my future career but currently at my workplace I
can recognize myself using my preferred communication style. Sandy, who works in
my department, can be considered to have a reflective communication style based
on my knowledge from the reading exercises we did this week. For example; Sandy
sits on her desk and triple checks her work to make sure she is doing it correctly. I
watch her check once, twice and on the third time it's time to speak and offer help so
the job can be done. At first, it was unbelievably difficult to work together but we
have learned to adapt to each other and balance out our strengths and weaknesses.
I work at a fast pace and when faced with difficult/stressful situations Sandy has my
back, she calms me down and makes me reflect. Regardless of our communications
styles, we all should take the time to really know the people we work with. I am afirm believer that learning about people’s feelings and ideas and understanding them
can positively impact our productivity at work. ReplyReply to CommentMatthew Flores
ThursdaySep 23 at 5:30pmManage Discussion EntryMy preferred communication
style would have to be directive. Directive is a style that brings a "serious attitude
and an all-business, no nonsense approach when communicating" as stated in the
document. It would be beneficial in the detective workplace that I desire to be apart
of because gathering and collecting important information is nothing more than a
serious matter and if you want people to take you serious you have to act like it.
Roadblocks can occur mostly when individuals try and make you less concentrated
in what you are doing and be nothing more than a distraction which will only prevent
completion from being done. Another style that I would be willing to flex into would
be the supportive communication style. I would only do so because having a
supportive communication style means that you follow a specific set of goals and
techniques. That would be helpful in how I communicate because helping people
resolve issues will only benefit me in a positive way by having a good portrayal on
people. References “5 Principles of Directive Communication.” 5 Principles Of

ThursdaySep 23 at 9:19pmManage Discussion EntryIn communication we make
decisions based on what we see and hear. The impressions that we form of people
is by what they say and do ,the patterns of behaviors that others can observe is
called communication style.My preferred communication style would be directive.
Individuals are described as frank, assertive and very determined while having a
“take charge” attitude. They have high dominance and low sociability. Dominance
can be defined as the tendency to seek and enjoy social relationships The measure
of whether you tend to control or express your feelings ( high sociability express their
feelings freely ,Low sociability control their feelings). They also project a very serious
attitude ,while expressing strong opinions with firm gestures with a tone of voice that
communicate determination but it’s not easy to communicate a warm caring attitude
or abandon formal approach in dealing with people.In my work environment this can
be an advantage and disadvantage, there is a need for me to take charge running
my business with clients as well as working with staff and students. Finding a
balance where they are comfortable to express there needs and wants and most ofall complete the tasks given .Flexing into a supportive communication style while in
these situations where I am trying to gain the support or cooperation of staff or
clients I need to first look for clues that identify the individuals preferred
communication style ,then adjust to the style different from my own. Gaining social
endorsement will be much easier .
Supportive style is very different for me. My work environments are as well. Very fast
paced and rapidly changing the needs and wants and the tasks given. I find myself
to be an introvert living a extrovert life . Being patient and attentive, cooperative are
all characteristics I could use as an advantage while listening and communicating .
They are reserved and usually avoid attention seeking situations using the power of
persuasion rather than power while expressing decisions in a thoughtful deliberate
manner . Learning this style will help me to motivate and bridge the gap with staff
who aren’t self starters but rather work in a group ,while Being more approachable
and open. ReplyReply to Comment

ThursdaySep 23 at 11:44pmManage Discussion EntryI connected to all styles of
communications, but there was one that was my preferred style. All the
characteristics of the supportive style aligned with how I am at work. My desired
career is to work cooperate for retail, however after reading this I found some
examples of how I portray my communication style at work. When an employee has
an issue or complain, I always make sure to listen attentively. My body language and
eye contact is a key sign for me to make sure they feel listened too. They tend to
confide more in me. I am not a fan of having others use their power over me. As an
employee, I’ve dealt with this many times from my managers. Now as a manager I
want to be a different manager and not make anyone feel less than because of my
title. When I read how the supportive style relies on a more friendly persuasion, I
knew this communication was more me than the others. I feel based off this
communication I get a better response from my employees. With this style, it is easy
for people to assume we are trying to pacify the situations, or tend to be seen as
putting others’ emotions or opinions above themselves. This is a good reason to
reflect upon two different styles. Each style has a cons list attached to it, but by
balancing 2 or more, you are able to adapt more at work. I have a balance with
supportive and directive. As supportive I like to be at work, my directive
communication tends to come out. As much as I like to talk and have fun, work stillneeds to be done. I like organization and having a plan at work. I have my checklist
that needs to be crossed off. If I see employees starting to fool around, I can come
off assertive. A bit a reflective plays a role in when I am being assertive. I am to the
point, but not in a yelling form. It is a conversation we are having. Learning more
about the communication styles has opened my views on overall communication.
Now when I receive a message or feedback, I can observe and try to recognize
ones’ style to respond in a proper manner. I realized I like my supportive style but its
entwined with so much more than that. ReplyReply to CommentGabriela Coronel
ThursdaySep 23 at 11:54pmManage Discussion EntryMany styles of
communications are brought up, but I see it as the preferred style of communication
can be defined as the way an individual prefers to convey information, feelings and
ideas in a manner most comfortable with them. Being able to actually communicate
and constantly keep on communication instead of thinking constantly on how to add
on. I don't really have a preferred style I feel like I'm still learning on which one would
fit me the best. Being a listener produces roadblock which includes overly listening
to others thereby making other people wait to also be able to add on to the
conversation. I would personally like to work on my communication style more
towards an emotive style which would be a combination of both being highly
dominant and highly social. It is helpful because you make the person who is
communicating with you important, they will actually know that you are listening to
them and that their opinions matter. ReplyReply to CommentDifferent Styles of Communication Discussion Responses
