Research indicates that 93% of our message is “how” we communicate and 7% is the content or the “what.”
The challenge of team productivity is the way that the "how" of communication varies according to behavioral styles. Some people are comfortable voicing their opinions off the top of their heads, while others prefer more time to ponder, and may take longer getting comfortable in large groups. The result of these disparities, and the common failure to understand the different styles, is conflict - be it overt or invisible. But a team can learn to harness this "personality style" diversity in a way that ends up enhancing productivity.
The ability to interact effectively with people is the key that allows one to excel in life, personally as well as professionally. It is also critical to business management and team development. People are unique and must be managed, motivated, communicated with and supported in a way that capitalizes on their strengths. Without a doubt, communication effectiveness enhances openness, trust, and greater idea stimulation for results & organizational development.
"
Ultimately, you succeed with others if you can communicate effectively. You will learn about your own behavioral design, as well as learn how to enhance your effectiveness with those you interact with"
