As a result of this activity, participants will be able to: 1. "Identify the range of communication style preferences in the group. 2. Identify the strengths and weaknesses of both their own preferred communication style and other styles in the workplace. 3. Learn a tool for listening. 4. See the value of having, and using, all three styles. 5. Identify the cost to workplaces of expecting people to adapt rather than use their own preferred style" (Stringer & Cassiday, 2009, p. 1).
