How to Harness Your Team’s Communication Styles to Build Trust Now.

I’m thrilled to announce the release of Citrine’s first product, Harnessing Your Team’s Communication Styles to Build Trust, a downloadable PDF quick guide designed to help supervisors, managers, and directors unlock the key to better team communication and start building trust now. As a leader, I know firsthand the challenge of navigating diverse personalities in a meeting, trying to convey and absorb information, or arrive at a decision. If you’ve ever stepped into a low-trust environment, you quickly realize that communication, no matter the subject, can feel like a never-ending struggle. 

The root of this difficulty?

Everyone communicates differently. Each team member has a unique communication style, which brings its own strengths, challenges, and potential roadblocks. If you, as the leader, don’t know how to recognize and adapt to these styles, you’ll find yourself stuck in a cycle of miscommunication, frustration, and stalled progress when it comes to trust-building. This is the guide I wish I had when managing teams of my own, where every communication style seemed to be in play.

In this quick guide…

you’ll learn: 1) the five most common communication styles, based on sociological research. 2) You’ll understand how to identify both the verbal and non-verbal cues of each style. 3) I’ve also included narratives for each style from real-world examples from my own experience building high-trust teams to show you how to comprehend these traits effectively. 4) For each communication style, you’ll also get three actionable ways to immediately start fostering trust and collaboration—even with the most challenging personalities.

While this guide is created for leaders, it’s invaluable for everyone. You’ll find yourself assessing not only your team’s communication styles but also your personal style, those of your colleagues, friends, and family. There’s no need to stay stuck in the frustrating loop of miscommunication—learn quickly how to adapt and build better relationships, starting today. Get the guide now and start building the trust you and your team needs to thrive.
