Communication style refers to the way individuals express themselves and interact with others. It encompasses verbal and non-verbal elements, including tone, body language, and choice of words. Different styles can affect how messages are received and understood, influencing personal and professional relationships. There are several types of communication styles, such as assertive, passive, aggressive, and passive-aggressive. Each style has its own characteristics and can lead to different outcomes in conversations. Understanding one's own communication style, as well as that of others, can enhance effective interaction and reduce misunderstandings.
