Every day at your work, you communicate with people who use different communication styles. Since communicating effectively to build strong work relationships supports business and personal success, it is critical that Walmart associates communicate effectively with customers, managers, and their fellow associates. Practice identifying different communication styles and determining effective ways to respond to the people who communicate using those styles.
Review this week’s course content and conduct additional internal (Walmart) and outside research on different communication styles. Based on this week’s readings and video content, and your research, complete the following:
1. Review the video titled 4 Styles of Communication: Communication Styles in the Workplace in this week’s Readings and Videos section. Pay particular attention to the definitions for each style and how best to communicate with people who use each style.

2. Think of two people you work with that use different communication styles.
-Identify which communication style each person uses (analytical, personal, intuitive, or functional), and explain how you came to this conclusion.
-For each person’s style, explain how you could use their particular communication style to communicate with them more effectively.
3. Consider how you typically communicate with others at work and identify your own personal communication style. What are the benefits when you can communicate with others in their preferred communication style?
