Embracing Flexibility as a Communication Style

However, communication is not a hard science, and engineers’ growth and effectiveness depends on their ability to flex to the communication style of their coworkers and clients. Various personality and communication assessment tools, when used properly, can provide a common language that engineers and others can use to discuss which behaviors they share with others, and how they can adapt to the styles of others. In session, we will explore a case study for how you can use the DiSC® assessment tool—or similar assessments—to open the lines of communication among people with various communication styles.
