Sorry for the silence yesterday, I was at all-day training
offsite and didn’t have access to a computer. This training was on effective
communication, and I actually learned something useful: that my communication
style is Relationship Building. This explains so much about why I sometimes
feel stupid at work, because I need more time and input to make a decision than
some of the other types. This was a class for women, and Relationship Building
was the largest group, so I am wondering if this is a very feminine style of
communication, and if the more male types that favor quick decisions based on
data rather than people are preferred where I work. At least now I feel
justified in saying I need some time to come to a decision, and I need input
from other people. There is nothing wrong with any style; they are all
necessary. My style is good for collaborations.
So if you feel the need to collaborate with someone, apparently I am
your woman.
