Communication Styles!

The Thinking & Acting Styles create combinations that predict how people will apply their styles when communicating with others (including when they're in leadership roles!). The Four Primary Communication Styles are: CHANGERS, PERFORMERS, CONSERVATORS, & PERFECTORS.

Their communication style is: "Great idea; let's try it!" The Perfectors Perfectors combine the creative thought power of Innovators with the powerful analysis & investigation skills of Analyzers.

When a couple is too close with each other, we always forget mutual respect & courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party. A friend & her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A worker who wore a helmet saw her & shouted,"Hi, Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school." On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me. Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker." She answered ,"You should appreciate that you married me. Otherwise, he will be the millionaire & not you." Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship. It's like a broken egg - cannot be reversed. PERSONAL PERCEPTION: Different people have different perc...
