Communication Styles Essay

I understand that communication styles change greatly from person to person. Recently, I have found myself caught in the mix with someone who really lacks communication skills, and could greatly benefit from a course like this one. On the flip side, I am lucky enough to deal with someone who I have personally experience great communication from. Though, I do think that everyone has their own ideas of what “good” communication is.
Communication is very important for any type of relationship, whether it be personal or professional. I do not think that you need to hold the same set of communication skills in a romantic relationship as a professional one. Both relationships have very different needs, and they must be address accordingly; I would

Though, it is also important in everyday life. I really think that we as a society need to take a step back, and look at how we can improve communication as a whole.
On the opposite end of the spectrum lies someone who I, unfortunately, have to deal with frequently. I will say that this person is not a bad person; quite the contrary as a matter of fact. On a personal level, I really like him. The problem lies with the lack of communication. I really struggled when I was considering writing about this person, because I feared that I would confused no communication with bad communication, then it really hit me; one is not better than the other.
I think I would have to say that bad communication cannot be summed our very easily, because I believe most people really do suffer from bad communication in one form or another. When you really consider what makes someone “bad” at communicating, what do you think of? I personally think that someone who doesn’t respond to messages or calls is terrible at communication, because I rely on their response. Someone else may not agree with this, and think that “bad” communication is simply someone who can’t maintain a conversation, or struggles with the topic at

Again, I really had to consider all of the facts here, and I decided to really touch upon the things that I just cannot stand. There are just certain things that he does that I do not understand how they allow themselves to do.
One of the many things that really annoy me with this person is that whenever I email him about a critical event that I need to take care of, I never get a timely reply. When I do receive a reply, it is almost as if he didn’t actually read my initial email. There have been many times that I have had to explain myself over again in an email thread that should have only been two replies long. To me, this is a big part of his job, and the fact that I get so frustrated every time isn’t OK.
There are times that I have had to meet with him in person in order to get his signature on things. I can tell that he is annoyed by his body language and the way he kind of sarcastically snaps at me. Body language is a big indicator of how you feel, and in communication, it says a lot more than I think people realize. I am not perfect myself, and I see that I have acted in the same way myself in the past, but I am not in the position that he is in. Leadership really changes the way you need to act, and the way you need to communicate. Verbal and non-verbal communication are very important when dealing with the people you are supposed to be advising, so it is more critical that you learn effective communication.
