Communication and stress – part 3

team communication

In my latest newsletter I already mentioned that I would write about the different roles different communication types have in a team. Each person has his own qualities and/or imperfections, but also differentiates in the way he takes decisions or how he deals with time management.
 
In a team it is also good to know the do´s and the don´ts with the different types. This influences a better communication and reduces stress.
