A concept that I have enjoyed reading about was good
communication and communication styles. There are four different types of
communication styles. The first one is assertive communicators that strive for
their own solutions and do not need the input from others. Aggressive communicators
are similar to assertive communicators in that they are avid about their own
needs but aggressive communicators try to control and manipulate others.
Passive communicators avoid confrontation and conflict while letting others
force their opinions on them. Passive-aggressive communicators are the actual
master manipulators because they use their own means to get the results that
they want. I feel that I am a passive-aggressive communicator but not as the
book defines it. I am passive-aggressive in that I know when to let others
speak their minds but if a pressing issue is on my mind, I am able to express
myself clearly. I think I am an effective communicator.
