💡 Here are the characteristics of major communication styles.

In our last post, we gave 4 communication styles that you can use to be an effective communicator. This week, let’s take a deep dive into these styles and see the pros and cons of each, so you can utilize them to your advantage!

Note: It is important to note that while certain communication styles are commonly employed by scholars or trainers, no style is an absolute either-or. In practice, a combination of different styles is often used.

What is most crucial is to have a clear understanding of your communication goals and the specific situation at hand to determine which style to lean on more heavily to effectively convey your message.

💡 Direct style - usually used in Western cultures that are straightforward
Pros: This style is good to use when sending instructions because of its clear message that is easy to be understood.
Cons: Direct communication may lead to conflict if blunt words are used.

💡 Indirect style - usually used in Eastern cultures as they value social harmony
Pros: People who ascribe to this style usually use polite words that avoid conflict.
Cons: Since the meaning of the message is not explicit, others may misunderstand what they want to say.

💡 Formal style - happens in a professional setting
Pro: Documentary evidence is available e.g. reports.
Con: Conversations have a long chain of command.

💡 Informal style - casual flow of conversation
Pro: Message is conveyed quickly.
Con: Usually there is no documentation of these conversations.

It’s also vital to know that a lot of factors can change the effectiveness of your messages, such as culture, age, gender, etc.

Context is really important when deciding when and how to use these communication styles. It’s important to read the situation and use one or a mix of these to effectively communicate your message.
