You've mapped your team's motivators, but there's still a missing piece. Have you ever delivered what you thought was a clear message, only to see confused faces?
The problem isn't your message - it's that people receive information differently.
Engagement Message
What's a recent communication that seemed to miss the mark?
Here's the reality: people have different communication styles. What feels clear and compelling to you might feel overwhelming or vague to someone else.
Your natural style worked to get you promoted, but managing requires adapting to how others prefer to receive information.
Engagement Message
Think about it - do all your team members respond the same way to your communications?
There are four primary communication styles that most people lean toward. Think of them as different languages for processing information.
Analytical, Driver, Amiable, and Expressive. Each style has unique preferences for how information should be presented and received.
Engagement Message
Which style name immediately resonates with how you prefer to communicate?
Analytical communicators love data, details, and logical progression. They want facts, research, and time to process information thoroughly.
They ask "What are the specifics?" and prefer written follow-ups to verbal discussions.
Engagement Message
Can you think of someone who always asks for more data before deciding?
Driver communicators are results-focused and direct. They want the bottom line first, then supporting details only if needed.
They ask "What's the outcome?" and prefer bullet points over lengthy explanations. Time is their most precious resource.
Engagement Message
Who on your team gets impatient with long explanations?
