No matter what field of study you’re in, group communication will play a huge part in the success of your team. It’s important to recognize that not everyone communicates in the same way as you. Knowing your style of communication as well as your team’s, can be a great way to improve productivity and team morale.
Here are some great examples:
1. Are You More Type A Or More Type B?
